Video installation

Video installation is a contemporary art form that combines video


technology with installation art. Installation art is an artistic genre of
three-dimensional works that often are site specific and designed to
transform the perception of a space. Video installation makes use of all
aspects of the surrounding environment to affect the audience.

N building
N Building is a commercial structure located near Tachikawa station amidst a
shopping district. Being a commercial building signs or billboards are typically
attached to its facade which we feel undermines the structures identity. As a
solution we thought to use a QR Code as the facade itself. By reading the QR
Code with your mobile device you will be taken to a site which includes up to
date shop information. In this manner we envision a cityscape unhindered by
ubiquitous signage and also an improvement to the quality and accuracy of the
information itself.

Seven Screens Osram Art Project 2010, Munich


Haubitz+Zoche developed a cinematic concept that focuses on the ambivalent
power of water for the SEVEN SCREENS. The works title was inspired by the

installation, 2027, rows of buildings in a fictitious metropolis are flooded.

multiple combinations of the past centurys visual memory within one
minute.
