Mynd 2000

VIDEO ENVIRONMENT BY STEINA |
| MYND worked itself backwards from
my ordinary creative process. First I saw the
space, then I got a commission and then went to
work on making “Mynd.” A financial security
and an awareness of a great exhibition space had
an impact on the creation. Since this commission
was for the National Gallery of Iceland, I wanted
the image material to be from there, and since
the hall was large, I thought it should have multiple
channels. I started digitally processing videos
from a previous production “Orka” and
was quite pleasantly surprised by the result.
Here were Chinese landscapes, undulating horses,
frozen emerald colored oceans. I scanned the images
both horizontally and vertically and could not
decide which was “better,” so there
came the decision to make six channels, three
channels horizontal, three vertical, meaning turning
three of the six projectors sideways. All six
projectors beam the image from floor to ceiling
making the sideway-projected images a much narrower
frame. |
