Urban Safari

In Wildlife, artist Karolina Sobecka uses the city itself as her medium. At night, projections from moving cars (driven by the San Jose Tiger Posse) are shone on the buildings downtown. Each car projects a video of a wild animal. The animal’s movements are programmed to correspond to the speed of the car: as the car moves, the animal runs along, speeding up and slowing down with the car. As the car stops, the animal stops also, in the manner of a real moving animal. To see this artwork in action, hit play or go to YouTube.
Its part of the Animal Safari today at Miss Cellania.
