> re:site montréal consists of two interrelated parts: a group 
> exhibition of
> works by German artists chosen by Felix S. Huber and Florian Wüst, and 
> a
> media arts project produced by Huber and Wüst during their residency at
> OBORO. A component of the media arts project will be installed in Carré
> Saint-Louis.
>
> re:site montréal appropriates the idea of everyday life as a film
> narrative. To a large extent determined by cinema, media and political
> spectacle, we perceive and understand the world through the eyes of
> cultural memory and collective imaginaries. Generally, the impact of 
> modern
> image technologies on social life represents two sides of the same 
> coin; on
> the one hand there is the threat of total control, and on the other 
> hand
> the potential of performance and the creation of visibility are 
> unleashed.
>
> Combining photography, video, digital live projection, newspaper 
> edition,
> and network installation, the exhibition explores the existing 
> collusion of
> subjective perception and the permanent flux of information, of public 
> and
> private spheres, reality and fiction.  Other works in the show 
> critically
> reflect on the behavioral patterns and architectural devices of power 
> that
> increasingly guide our navigation and interaction in public space.
>
> The media arts project situated in Carré St. Louis -- a public park 
> near
> OBORO, broadcasts two live video streams through the internet. These 
> images
> and sounds are automatically mixed with prefabricated recordings and
> enacted scenes, both stored in a database, that match with and expand 
> upon
> the actual scene at the site. The constantly changing audio-visual 
> collage
> is played back in real time on monitors and speakers integrated into 
> the
> structure in Carré Saint-Louis as well as through the internet at
> www.oboro.tv/resitemontreal that can be accessed from a computer 
> terminal
> set up in OBORO's gallery. The ambiguous transparency of the project's
> concept creates a stage with the gaze of cameras, which subverts the 
> notion
> of closed circuit surveillance found in any large city in the world. 
> At the
> same time, it presents a public platform for text exchanges.
