Ghost Pole Propagator (2007)
The name of artist: Golan Levin
Ghost Pole Propagator captures and replays the 'skeletons' of passersby in its environment, creating a layered and dynamic tapestry that reflects the history and activity of a locale. Presenting a universal communication of presence, attitude and gesture, the stick-figures this artwork generates are compact and expressive means of representing the human form. The format of the work is variable; in other presentations, the project serves as a kind of 'interpretive monitoring station' for nearby pedestrian traffic.
host Pole Propagator (2007: Golan Levin) is an interactive installation originally developed for projection in the 13th century Belsay Hall Castle, in Newcastle, England as part of the Picture House exhibition.

CityCollage (2005)
The name of artist: Martin Wattenberg
CityCollage creates a leisurely, painterly image of a single second. Your image is used as a palette that echoes the sampling of the artist’s eye. CityCollage takes your photo and uses it to build a streetscape. You become the raw material for an urban construction. As in a city, your own presence is tangential, one ingredient among many. You may not even see yourself, until a sudden moment of recognition, like spotting a familiar face in a crowd.
Two cameras are trained on two views, one on the street, one in a private space at the installation. Each time movement is detected in the private sphere, a new streetscape is created.
Citycollage was part of the show ‘Urbanisms‘ at the Pace Digital Gallery
