Lived Montage / Le montage vécu   (series)

Lived Montage was conceived by artist Goki Muramoto as a fictional mode of perception. It is a mode in which "when the object of our consciousness is shared, the vision is shared (as a montaged cinematic view where its perspective switches with the timing of individual heartbeats)".

In order to materialize this mode of perception, a unique media apparatus was developed, consisting of several interconnected glasses. Each pair of goggles has a camera and display attached to a portable wooden box from which extends a stethoscope placed on the participant's chest. The participants' camera images are transmitted to a computer (via Wi-Fi or wires), which groups the participants according to "what they are looking at" and switches the images within that group according to the timing of each participant's heartbeat. These edited images are then sent back to the goggles. This new " beholding"-which is re-established by this mode after subject and object have been critiqued and rewritten from their foundations-compulsively reveals the relationship between others, image, and space, or that between film, play, and life.

「意識の対象を共有するとき、視界も(モンタージュされた映画的景色として)共有する」という独自の知覚の形態。参加者はカメラとディスプレイを合わせたゴーグルを装着する。ゴーグル同士は無線で繋がっている。各々のディスプレイには、その時自分と同じ対象を見た参加者のカメラの映像が自身の心拍のタイミングで、映画のように切り替わっている。

APPARATUS

The media apparatus for "Lived Montage" consists of multiple interconnected goggles. Each set of goggles has a camera and display attached to a wearable wooden box from which a stethoscope extends that is placed on the participant’s chest. The participants’ camera images would be transmitted to a computer (via Wi-Fi/wires), which would group participants according to “what they are watching” known by sensors, and shuffles the images within this group according to the timing of each participant’s heartbeat. Then, these montaged images are sent back to the goggles. In this way, a fictional mode of perception is realized in which “when the object of our consciousness is shared, the vision is shared(as a montaged cinematic view where their perspective switched with the timing of individual heartbeats).”
