Wakeful Rests / Vero Bollow (US)
Wakeful Rests juxtaposes the possibility of multiple, simultaneous, “lapse-less” visual realities with the singular, deeply personal act of human seeing. On a large screen, live video is pulled from over one hundred 24-hour webcams around the world to create a real-time, spontaneous cinema experience. Meanwhile, a computer vision module detects the viewer’s blinks. Afterwards, the corresponding “missed frames” are played back via the Blinkstream: an infinitely accumulating sequence of recalled images—each uniquely unseen by a preceding viewer.
