Pataphysical Voodles: Sam Renseiw and the Survey of Space(s)
Since 2005 Thomas Wiesner has maintained the videoblog Spacetwo:Patalab under the guise of his web moniker Sam Renseiw. The videos posted to the blog are oblique essays uncovering detail in architectural environments and events with a clinical yet subjective, inquisitive gaze. With more than 700 videos produced to date, it has become one of most prolific videoblogs on the web.
In this presentation Thomas Wiesner will show a number of the pieces made for Spacetwo:Patalab, discuss his practice, its serial nature, and the context of the web as a research and exhibition space.
Spacetwo:Patalab is at http://patalab02.blogspot.com
This event is hosted by British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection
Thomas Wiesner is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen and teaches conceptual space awareness to choreography and stage design students at the Danish Theater School.
