Here’s a nice entry provided by the journal Vectors out of the University of Southern California.
The specific work is Anne Friedberg and Erik Loyer’s The Virtual Window Interactive, a “windowed” work that explores the nature of framed space and frames that mediate experience, much as we experimented with in class on the 15th of February.
Here’s a quote from Frieberg’s statement about reshaping and remediating the concepts in the original work, The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft (Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2006), for the digital environment:
Because the computer screen is both a “page” and a “window,” at once opaque and transparent, it commands a new posture for the practice of writing and reading - one that requires looking into the page as if it is the frame of a window. I knew that I would need to translate the book to an environment that would allow me link its concepts with its form. The Virtual Window Interactive is the book’s digital “Other.” It forms a tangent to the matrix of concepts in the book while supplying vivid examples of the still and moving images that have - in the span of centuries - filled the apertures of our windows, frames, and screens.
Lots of criteria and relationships are put into service here.
Thanks to Nicholas Senn of Critical Spatial Practice for the direction.
