Description: Detailed description by video artist Chris Welsby of his 16-monitor video wall installation.
Chris Welsby - Film Notes for Lost Lake 1996, a sixteen monitor video wall installation When we look at a TV screen, where is the image located in space? Is it located behind the TV tube, so that we view it as if looking through a window? Or perhaps, as science suggests, it only exists as millions of glowing phosphors located on the surface of the glass tube. Or does the image shine through the tube, the way that light is emitted from a light bulb? In this installation the reflective surface of the lake draws attention to some essential qualities of the video medium, whilst questioning the physical location of the "lake" itself. Lost Lake represents a metaphysical contemplation on the nature and limits of the video medium in relation to the natural world.
