| Beschreibung: |
The current transformation of the perception of space, caused by new national, ideological
and economic borders – especially in Central Europe – in conjunction with the new
localization of view via satellite navigation and surveillance systems led to a paradigm shift in
the understanding of geography that hits the focus of visual art rapidly. Similar to the
Renaissance's central perspective or the definition of a standard scale in cartography, which
was facilitated by aerial photography later, the transfer between art and geography reaches
a historically completely new dimension.
After the area of several artistic positions dealing with the aesthetic of video surveillance
artists start to reflect the age of panoptical view via webcam, weather TV or CCTV. Obviously
they use the visual material as ready-made footage of the reality. Some of these productions
develop a new kind of existentialism. In general questions about the localization of the
subject in the urban and the medial context are posed.
To put a light on this phenomenon and to analysis the strategies of transfer between the
parameters of scientific cartography and its representation in contemporary art a historical
overview will give different examples in fine arts. A discussion of positions of the current art
production will follow. |
