parasite + parallel worlds

parasite and parallel worlds are from a series of proposals called moving canvas from the universität der künste berlin:

Our contribution to this is the idea of a parasite. Parasite is an independant projection-system that can be attached to subways and other trains with suction pads. Using the speed of the train as parameter for the projected content, the projection starts with the train moving inside a tunnel.

The tunnels of a subway-system bear something mystic—most people usually have never made a step inside any of those tunnels. Confusing the routine of your train-travelling-journey, your habits and perception Parallel Worlds—making use of Parasite—allows you a glimpse into a different world full of surrealist imagery.

forgot to blog about this over the summer but i find it a really great installation. of course sticking something to the side of a subway car is never looked kindly upon by the transportation authority, its still an awesome addition to an otherwise more mundane journey. opening up new possibilities and new ways of regarding the infrastructures that we rely on in our daily lives. plus it's gutsy :]
