PIA: Painting in Action – Self Surveillance Experiment

This post is also available in: German

Finally, I am presenting myself. Not missing, but painting in action

In March 2015 I red “The Circle” from Dave Eggers, and I found the SeeChange cameras both, horrible and fascinating. SeeChange cameras in this book are everywhere and non-stop, 24/7. Just click the name of the individueal you are interessted in, and you see what this person does, live. Than I saw that many painters show what they do, not only the result. Here are three videos of the “mountain news” series:

Lauterbrunnen Valley – High Nose

El Cap – Dawn Wall

Action Directe

The videos show only part of the story, since I spend much time on the concepts of my work.

Other self surveillance methods might have better be suited. It is a quite new technical development to link live-streams to persons and their social profile like Eggers SeeChange cameras do. New Apps like Periscope promise to do so. So I tried streaming painting sessions to you. Presumably that is extremely boring, but you never now. I had three spectators.

All of my followers watched.
