Interactive Installation. Seesaw controller set in front of projected media, the projection consisting of two randomly selected movie scenes, one scene takes up the top half of the display and the other the bottom. Users control the playback of movie scenes through the use of the seesaw. Motion up and down will turn on and off the corresponding scenes.
The 1962 movie Two for the Seesaw stars Shirley MacClaine and Robert Mitchum and was directed by Robert Wise. It's set in New York City. The movie is deconstructed into 112 separate scenes that are selected at random. This permits an analysis of the film, it's use of language and a focused appreciation of the techniques of filmmakers and actors. The seesaw adds a physical component to the way we take in the movie information. See/Saw is a love affair with a time in New York that no longer exists. It's a fragile memory filtered through a New Media apparatus.
