Hotel Windsor, 111 Spring St, Melbourne, VIC
No, that wasn't a stutter in the title; the 5 star Hotel Windsor was built as "The Grand" back in the age of Queen Victoria, in 1884. The front is located on Spring Street in the Parliament precinct, with Parliament House just up the road to my right.
What we see today does not look much like the hotel that was built then. The hotel expanded in stages over the century since it was built. It had already doubled in size by 1888. Shortly after its opening it was bought by a pair including one who was both a politician and a temperance movement member, who burnt its liquor licence and turned it into the "Grand Coffee Palace". A 5 star hotel which can't serve liquor? Sure, I can see that working. In a certain sense.
In 1893 he was declared bankrupt.
The hotel was sold to someone who wasn't an idiot and who bought a neighbouring hotel to expand the Grand and reacquire a liquor licence, and who succeeded in not going bankrupt.
In the late 1890s the founding fathers of Australian federation stayed and often met here. In 1920 the hotel was refurbished under new owners, and was renamed The Windsor after a certain royal family of that name.
It can be hard to appreciate now because the few remaining grand hotels from the late 19th and early 20th century have carved out a niche for themselves. They are not just places to stay, but places to experience. (Partly because there are so few of them left. There are none in Sydney.) However in the 1960s everything was focused on modern, new hotels as a result of which ones like The Windsor started to seem more dated than grand. By the mid-70s the hotel was becoming run down. There were plans to tear it down. These were opposed by heritage organisations and the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF) which imposed "green bans". The government of the day bought it in 1976 and leased it out to a new group in 1980. That group bought the hotel in 1990 after spending several millions of dollars to upgrade it. In 2005, they sold it to the Indonesian based Halim family.
And then the fun really began.
A plan from 2009 proposed to modernize the hotel while preserving its heritage. The Halim Group wanted to build a 25-storey tower behind the original structure, adding 152 new rooms, banquet facilities, and an indoor pool.
However, the redevelopment faced significant opposition, particularly from Heritage Victoria and the Victorian Government. There were concerns over the height of the new tower, and its impact on the Parliamentary precinct not to mention the historic edifice of the Windsor. After some dirty politics which are too long to go into here, approval was given in 2010. However the Halim Group did not seem to move forward with the project. They sought an extension. And another. In the meantime the zoning laws had changed meaning that the original proposal would never have been approved were it to be submitted today. The Victorian government refused a fourth extension to the permit in 2019, effectively killing off the project. Since then, the Halim Group has stated its commitment to maintaining the hotel and working with Heritage Victoria to find an alternative solution, but no major redevelopment has moved forward. The Windsor remains operational, but without the expansion originally envisioned. Is it profitable in its current state? The Halim Group isn't obligated to say publicly, and they aren't saying.

德曼一直對文化中所詮釋的「自然」抱有濃厚興趣。許多德曼的影像都在探討同一個問題：「在一個充滿人造加工的世界裡，什麼才是自然？」例如《石窟》（2006），德曼以很注目的方式試圖提出這個問題，藉此引起我們去關注自然中「崇高美學理論」產生的影響，以及攝影能夠塑造（或扭曲）個人經驗和記憶的力量。這件作品德曼用了36噸紙板建造了一個等比例的地下洞窟，然後以攝影把影像保留下來。
這件作品所描繪的鐘乳石和石筍，地質上需要數千年的時間，由水滴中的礦物質逐層堆積而成。而德曼的創作亦以紙板一層層累積完成。這個影像是我們在世界各地紀念品商店中，數以千計的洞穴明信片中都可能見過的景象。德曼收集了數百張這樣的明信片，最終的《石窟》攝影作品是將我們對洞穴的集體印象，凝聚成一體的理想化產物，儘管洞穴的典型模樣在漫長的攝影歷史中，有過多次轉變與修正。
十八世紀哲學崇高美學所說的氣勢震攝，在這件作品中變成了Instagram世代的拍照熱點，而自然的壯麗景象被簡化為日常社交媒體的po圖。德曼為了進一步證明所謂的崇高與Instagram照片都一樣是被製造出來的觀點，他破例保留了這件作品的模型（這是他唯一一次），目前它在米蘭普拉達基金會的地下畫廊中，與作品的研究資料一起展出。
或許正是作品巨大的實體存在及德曼對記憶與攝影交織關係的案例研究，讓他願意將《石窟》的實際模型與其影像攝影的對照並存：一種對物體、記憶與攝影過程之間相互交疊的紀念形式。
Throughout his career, Demand has been interested in our culture's production of "nature." In the end many of Demand's images ask, in a world so fully suffused with artifice, "what is the natural?" In Grotto (2006), for example, Demand famously attempted to ask this question by calling our attention to the legacy of the aesthetic theory of the Sublime in nature in relation to the power of photography to form (or deform) experience and personal memory. To produce this image Demand used thirty-six tons of cardboard to construct a life-size underground cavern before preserving its image photographically.
Like the stalagmites and stalactites it depicts, which have been built up geologically over millennia out of the mineral content of dripping water, Demand constructed this work out of layer after layer of card-board. The image it re-creates is one that we might have seen many times before in the thousands of postcard images of caves sold in gift shops around the world. The artist gathered hundreds of these post-cards, and the final photographic version of Grotto becomes an ideal condensation of our collective image of a cave that has itself been mediated by the long history of photography.
In this work, the terrifying grandeur of the eighteenth-century philosophical Sublime becomes the Instagram generation's idea of a photo-op, and the spectacle of nature is reduced to a daily post. As if to accentuate the point that neither the Sublime nor the Instagram photo are any less constructed than one another, Demand allowed the model for this work to be preserved (just this one time, unlike all of his previous or subsequent models), and it currently sits on view in Milan in a basement gallery at the Prada Foundation along with vitrines full of his research.
Perhaps the sheer weight of its factual material existence and its case-study approach to the concatenations of memory and photography led Demand to allow for Grotto's continued physical existence alongside its photographic counterpart: a kind of memorial to the mutual imbri-cation of objects, memory, and the process of photography.

For decades, Windows PC gamers have come to accept screen tearing, stutter and input lag as unfortunate side effects of even the best graphics technology. Despite advances in gaming hardware over the years, it was only recently that NVIDIA was able to eradicate such long-standing nuisances at long last. G-SYNC redefines gaming graphics by synchronizing a compatible display to the output of the GPU, rather than the other way around.
