It was presented   for the first time in Europe at the Cologne Kunstverein in 1979.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">The main element of <em>Interface<\/em> is a pane of glass in the form of a screen, which is placed towards the back of   a dimly-lit room. The video camera is set up behind the glass and directed   towards it. Facing it on the other side of the glass is a video projector   connected to the camera (creating a closed circuit which instantly transmits   what the camera records). The camera and projector are placed on a diagonal. The   visitors, who make up an essential component of the work, are invited to walk   through the space in front of the glass, which thus serves a double function: it   reflects the viewers\u2019 image like a mirror but also serves as a screen,   permitting them to watch the image recorded by the camera. By means of the   glass, the visitors entering the environment of <em>Interface<\/em> are thus   simultaneously confronted by two images of themselves, one of which is   \u2018positive\u2019\u2014the video image\u2014and the other \u2018negative\u2019\u2014their reflection in the   glass. While the glass reflects an image in colour with well-defined contours,   the indirect, \u2018ghostly\u2019 recorded image in black and white seems more fragile, as   if it were floating in space. As they move back and forth in front of the glass,   visitors are led to determine the exact position where the two images overlap   and it is from this point that they can actually see the splitting of their   image.&#8221; [3]<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">[1] http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/86\/248961775_88f765036d.jpg?v=0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">[2] http:\/\/www.tate.org.uk\/images\/cms\/12489w_symmetry_interface.jpg<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">[3] http:\/\/www.newmedia-art.org\/cgi-bin\/show-oeu.asp?ID=I0025779&amp;lg=GBR<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":8047,"template":"","artist":[37],"streams":[8],"keywords":[2110,2078,2108],"decade":[5541],"media":[5547],"class_list":["post-44","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-peter-campus","streams-charged-environments","keywords-glass","keywords-light","keywords-video-camera","decade-1970s","media-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/44","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/44\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8061,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/44\/revisions\/8061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=44"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=44"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=44"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=44"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
