How to Look at Art

Video Installation from 'Look at Me!', Interactive Arts Degree Show, Manchester Metropolitan University, June 2001

As part of the Interactive Arts Degree Show, 'Look at Me!', I created an instructional video showing visitors how to stand when looking at art. I looked at the format and style used in in-flight safety demonstrations, paying particular attention to the stilted movements used to convey a message. The video was played on a monitor positioned quite high up to reflect the way in-flight safety videos are shown on aeroplanes.
