UNINVITED is composed of:
The installations of UNINVITED feature self-evolving networked monsters inside a mechatronic shell that generate and watch a ‘horror movie’ from surveillance footage they have collected. Each monster moves across the empty art gallery on rails, projecting the horror movie onto the wall as it tries to examine and make sense of it. If fear comes from the unknown - or the quest for security in an absence of reliable data - then this is pure fear!
The horror movie these monsters project and pore over is pulled from streams of closed-circuit TV feeds from all over the planet - taken without reason or permission by malicious botnets. Together in their networked mind, they do all they can to understand what they see - analysing harder, zooming deeper - to no avail. As the monsters try to categorise these images, the gaps in how it makes sense of data expose how little it understands of the world around it.
The viewing room allows anyone anywhere to try to watch with their own machine (a computer, tablet, phone, etc). What we see as the real, physical world is nothing compared to the world our own watching machines construct using millions of points of our digital data. We remain alone together in our looking and always othered in our understanding - and yet with each new viewing we connect in ways we cannot yet comprehend because You Are Uninvited!
