Agent

Interactive digital video 4 x 3 x 6 metres
projection, computer, camera, colour
A Little Pig Production, UK, 2008.

Agent captures people as a temporal trace. If a viewer remains stationary in the space before the screen they progressively become more solid and corporeal in their appearance. If they move they transform into a will'o'wisp like ghost or sprite, motion blurred and smeared across the projection screen. The people captured in the space appear located in a dark three dimensional space beyond the surface of the screen, recognisable but quite distinct to their own real appearance.

The performers in the documentation here are Ross Cooper, Morgan Runacre-Temple, Lucy Boyes and Ira Siobhan.
