Triennial Artist Spotlight: Rabih Mroué

In a recent interview with Premier Art Scene, Rabih discusses how the idea for his Syrian youtube video series began, and what his hopes are for the viewer.

“As we talked about the situation in Syria, there were only two different sources: Official regime TV and the internet, where the protestors had been uploading their videos. If you want to follow seriously, what is happening, you have to go to both sources. What struck me was a video, where you see a (cell phone) cameraman filming a regime soldier with a gun, and then, suddenly, this person fires his gun at the cameraman and the camera falls and the video ends. After I found this first video, I found many more videos like that in the internet. I was shocked.

It is like a war against the camera, or against the image. The installation is about these videos mainly: I started to deconstruct the videos. I separated the sound from the images. I made large prints of the shooters. I made small-scale flipbooks from the videos. This way, the visitors have to try to reconstruct the quick internet video in their heads. My deconstruction is a kind of obstacle in order to find out, what is really happening there. But we don’t know what is really happening there.

I like the sentence by Marguerite Duras in ‘Hiroshima Mon Amour’ when the protagonist says to the French journalist, ‘You have seen noting in Hiroshima!’ I also wanted to demonstrate to the viewers it is impossible to reconstruct all these layers of reality and really know what is going on. In the end you have the ink on your fingers and you are engaged as well.”

This installation will be on view in A Different Kind of Order: The ICP Triennial, from May 17–September 8.

Rabih Mroué is a Lebanese stage and film actor, playwright, and visual artist. Rooted in theater, his work includes videos and installation art; the latter sometimes incorporates photography, text and sculpture.

Precise Images of Buildings That 3D Scanning Enables by Scott Page Design

3D scanning—though it’s been around since the 1960s—has been in the news of late, with Harvard using the technology to recreate ancient statues and MakerBot announcing a desktop scanner last month. But cheaper, faster, and more accessible 3D scanners aren’t just revolutionizing how we print terrifying models of our own faces. They’re also changing how we understand the city.

A fascinating story about urban-scale 3D scanning published on the Atlantic Cities this week explores how a Bay Area architect named Scott Page is using a 3D scanner to generate super-accurate models of historic and dilapidated buildings.

Page’s system takes a series of photographs and patches them together based on how light bounces off each surface. Rather than taking weeks to survey an old building, architects can now generate precise dimensions in just a few hours. Because the scanner uses color photographs, the models are also incredibly beautiful, expressive documents—Page compares them to the first photographs ever made. “There is a magical quality to point cloud imagery, similar to the earliest photos that froze time onto small metallic plates,” he writes on his website.
