Janet Cardiff & George Miller

I love this video of Janet Crdiff and George Miller’s walks. The idea of this augmented reality, but this reality is just the past. It messes with technology in time, and the experience of using technology especially iphones. It projects a new reality on reality, we are used to looking through a smartphone screen at the world and when we dont see that reality, it is jarring.

I also really like their ideas of dissonance between audio and visual, also the experience of sound in real life as in The Paradise Institute, 2001 where a sonic world/reality is created in an “empty” theatre.
