LP project

The LP project is a collaborative “in-development” idea dealing with the rather abstract notion of lacking visual perception. We are daily stuffed with visual information and the idea of this research is to try to ignore this and try to make the user/viewer “see” things without actual image. We made a short video, trailer-like, asking questions in order to raise certain interest. All means used in the video are minimal...using nothing but a simple light source we create the needed environment and pose questions about basic notions such as lightness, darkness and the notion of nothing. In the end what are the benefits and negatives of visual incapability in these days of visual overload.

What is Internet?

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite to serve billions of users worldwide.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet ).

This is an “in-development” project that aims to collect information and definitions of what is internet from non-users. Nowadays we are constantly online. At the same time, there are many people that never experienced the web and have built their opinion based on what they heard from others or saw on tv, or just their imagination. Mostly the “ignorant” are elderly people, people of minority ethnic groups with low social status or just children. I started a small database of videos, collecting definitions of what internet actually is. Results are honest, descriptive and tend to bring out simple physical features and gradually materialize the web.
