Red light insecurity

Instalation in GHMP, Praha, Entermultimediale 3

System of red light countdown displays activated by visitor´s movements. Each of the displays is controlled by an optical sensor. Displays look nonactive till the visitor´s movement activates a so called count-down procedure. The count down can accidentaly stop at any time. Visitors are confronted with psychologicaly known reality linked to quickly changing numbers. Visuality of displays is similar to what terrorists use for radio controlled explosives. Displays are the last warning before a situation shifts into radical negativity or positivity. Red light displays represent an interface of insecurity or under certain conditions even fear. These conditions depend on where and when the displays are located.
