Tape recorders

Upplagd av Víctor Guerrero


Tape recorders by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is an installation where rows of tapes measure how long do the visitors stay in front of them. While a person stays in front of some of them, a motor in each of the tapes pulls it off so the longer they stay the longer the tape will be translating time into space.

At the beginning I thought the installation wanted to remark the reminiscence of people as the other course group did, but the authors' point is different because when the tapes reach 3 meters they crash and fall. A variation of the same installation could have been done so if no people are detected make the motor work the other way around to put in the tape giving this sense of reminiscence.
