A text editor or word processor is an archetypical piece of software, a white sheet with a blinking cursor, ready to type, erase, copy and paste. The blur on the other hand is an artefact from a very different media culture, that of photography and by extension film. The out of focus effect is physically a produce of lens based media, and even our own biological lenses.

The work puts the focal depth of the observing lens on a plane far away from the screen, dissolving the always pristine crispness and sharpness of the computer interface in an absent yet fully interactive state.

    Crossvision – An alternative vision of motion
    
												
    Created by Henning Marxen, Crossvision is a series of video art sequences of recognisable yet disorienting sceneries that combine the popular slit-scan capturing technique with a specially designed camera slider.
    

    

									  
    
									
    

            
									
    

                    
    
												

													
													

	

												
                    
    

										
    

                    		
    KRILLER – Globally synced broadcast of synth-soaked ambient software
    
												
    KRILLER is an eternally looping, seven day, globally synced audio-visual broadcast of synth soaked ambient software (online) experience. The weeklong broadcast is divided into 6300 software art ‘cassettes’, each bound to a specific moment of time during the week, minted by its fabricator, and seamlessly fusing with its predecessor and successor to form audiovisual duets and mashups.
