Zerseher
In the interactive installation "Zerseher" by Dirk Lüsebrink and Joachim Sauter, the spectator, when walking past a panel, realizes all of a sudden that wherever he looks, he is destroying the image with his eyes.
Through the juxtaposition, confrontation, fusion, hybridization of traditional art and new media technology, the interactive installation "Zerseher" ("Disviewer") tries to render visible that extended notion of Art created by the artistic use of new media. p The observer finds himself in a museum environment, a framed picture hanging on a wall. Upon coming closer, the viewer notices that exactly the spot of the picture he is looking at is changing under his gaze. He has the opportunity of stepping back to put an end to the destruction he is creating, but he also may completely 'disview' the picture. In the traditional monolithic juxtaposition of flat image and observer, the work of art has left only a few - if any - traces in the observer.
