Glific at Uncharted, SantralIstanbul. Telling stories by replacing words with images that have been tagged online with that specific word. When a user touches an image, it is replaced by another. We are exploring how to visually tell stories, as well as the reliability of user-tagging and opinion on how to sum up a picture with one word. View high resolution

The concept of Glific is a reversal of contemporary trends in web-based media, whereby the concept of tagging media is reflected back onto itself. Rather than tagging images, video, and content with words like many social bookmarking sites, Glific uses images to tag words themselves. Instead of tagging one photo with a dozen words, one work is tagged with a dozen photos. Using images as tags we then rebuild narratives, news and events by replacing the words in their text.

Invisible AEC is a perspective-based ‘urban extension’ installation that turns the facade of the Ars Electronica Centre into a window to reveal the architecture hidden behind the building, seeking to use the AEC as an enhancer for the surrounding urban area and in effect having the building disappear.
Shown at Ars Electronica 2009 as a 30 minute installation on the facade. The installation was programmed in Java and slowly faded the building from entirely white to its final ‘invisible’ state. View high resolution
