vog (a BETA videoblog)

Lugano Variation Three
created: 12 October 2004

The third iteration of the Lugano videos (the first was vertical, the second horizontal). This one really only makes sense in light of the other two, so it is really a proposition that is a consequence of one and two. Here the three videos appear, but their default is that they are not visible. They only become visible, and audible, when you mouse into the video, and then the three video panes are discovered, as per the other versions. This is sort of a zero case vog, one that appears to be nothing, empty, black, silent, and only ever becomes something (well, of course it has been something all along, but you get the idea) when you actually move your mouse into the work, touching it letting it then be. I kinda like this idea.
