ReVisioning the Virtual Wall
Digital Giclee Print 140 x 70 cm on Hahnemuehle Baryta Paper, mounted on Alu-Dibond
Edition of 3 + 1 Artist Proof. By T+T (Tamiko Thiel), 2009.
The digital collages of ReVisioning the Virtual Wall remix and mash-up scenes taken from the interactive large screen virtual reality projection "Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall" – often from viewpoints that users of the VR work would never see – with developmental sketches, photos, plans and other reference materials from the research in historic archives in East and West Germany, including from the notorious East German State Security (Stasi) archives. As in Cubist paintings, these collages transform and collapse, fragment and recombine the perceptions of 3D space and time onto the flat plane of a 2 dimensional image, or conversely expand 2d reference materials into a vision of 3d space.
