TAMPER: Gestural Interface for Cinematic Design

January 24, 2008—April 13, 2008

TAMPER is a participatory work that fuses cutting-edge interface technology with the practice of film production. The result is an off-kilter editing room in which the museum visitor becomes cinema collage artist, literally using her or his hands to grab and recompose elements from different movies: characters here, props there, architecture from one, an entire scene from another. Each emerging pasteup flows into TAMPER’s history stream, which may be browsed subsequently or used as a source of material for further collage. The experience is a form of active viewing -- by bending film back to bite its own tail.
