STATION ROSE: It’s true – 3081_New York

The work “It’s true” by STATION ROSE was shown for the first time at Vienna Art Week in November 2019 and thereafter in the summer of 2020 during the period of lockdowns at the STATION ROSE Artspace in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier.

Info 2020: “Due to the Covid19 situation, analog life is globally out of joint. The digital world gets much more space from now on. In the exhibition “3081_New York”, augmented reality created a new 3 D space that transcends the boundaries of space. It merges the media installation with the real situation. The artists were in New York in May 2019 and found an exponentially growing arts district around 25th Street. Now, a year later, there was no more talk of exponential growth, but of LockDown, curfews & riots. What happens next ? The exhibition will be updated over the summer of 2020 at MQ & is simultaneously field research on the current Covid-19 situation.”
The image was generated on the ipad, and subsequently animated. In the augmented reality version, different layers move on top of each other in space.

The music composition for “It’s True-2081_NewYork” was created using a 1-bar sample from a previously created composition. It was disassembled into 16 parts, and by means of a special app on the iPad, rhythmically disassembled, reassembled, set to different speeds, “shredded.” The recording used for augmentation was created live in the studio.
