Installation view, “Red Eyed Skywalkers “ 2008 is the 3rd adaptation of the site-specific public artwork this time in the heart of the departure terminal at San Pablo Airport in Seville, Spain. Peter Weibel curated the project as part of special artists projects for the 3rd Biennial of Seville , in Seville ,Spain. The design and the sequencing of the work consist of small wi fi video cameras attached on 99 red weather balloons inflated with helium. The cameras capture live aerial data and information from the security around the terminal and through the Internet broadcast live the vitality and chaos of the airport mixed with archived streaming data, which is displayed on large display screens located along the departures gates of the airport.” Redeyed Skywalkers” is a celebration of the spectacle, excess, beauty and desire of contemporary culture and a provocative comment on the issues of surveillance, fear and control in our society.
