Busy Circle

Busy Circle 2016
3:20 looping. 1x1 LED videoværk

Busy Circle vises på et LED-display og vises grovkornet og digitalt. Den blå cirkel roterer rundt og rundt - men forsvinder, og skærmen bliver sort i 20 sekunder omkring hvert 3. minut.

Busy Circle udfolder for mange mennesker en menneskelig genkendelig situation fra den digitale verden. Symbolet viser, hvor computeren stopper processerne og sætter os på ”hold” i en venteposition. Symbolet vises, når vi ikke længere har kontrol, og når computeren lever sit eget liv.

LED-skærmen har et meget pixileret billede og bruges normalt i det offentlige rum. Ved at flytte Busy Circle fra computerskærmen til LED-teknologien flytter du også den individuelle oplevelse, du beskæftiger dig med, til en offentlig scene og som en offentlig sag. Både kontekst, størrelse og pixeltæthed transformeres.

Busy circle is a 1x1 meter video work.

It appears on an LED display and appears coarse-grained and digital. The blue circle spins around and around - but disappears and the screen goes black for 20 sec around every 3 minutes.
Busy circle unfolds for many people a human recogniz­able situation from the digital world, -the symbol shows up where the computer is stopping the processes and want us to wait. The use of technology is a human basic foundation. The symbol shows up when we are not any longer in control and when the computer lives its own life.

The LED screen has a very pixilated picture and is normally used in public space. By moving the busy circle from the computer screen to the LED technology, you also move the individual experience you deal with to a public scene and as a public matter.
Both context, size and pixel density are transformed.
