Digital Avant-Garde / Prix Selection
America´s Finest
Lynn Hershman (USA)
The user aims at a specific spot or an object within the installation’s space. With the specially prepared rifle, the user sees not only what he/she is aiming at but also himself/herself. In this project, the wars, weapons and media that have touched and burdened our lives blend into a unified whole. “America’s Finest” makes use of different sounds and mixing/selection techniques as well as a Targa Board, specially developed software programmed in C. The rifle can pivot a full 360°, whereby built-in sensors recognize when a user picks it up and aims at a target.
