Omnivisu
Street Art for All
Omnivisu--an urban installation by Willy Sengewald and Richard The--was designed for a facade at the S/U station Warschauer Str. which is "not only a symbol of the desolated GDR–industries. It is a relict of the new–economy boom and its ending as well as the arrival of MTV and Universal."
The tower at the the S/U station has an odd glass cube on the top and the artists decided to give it eyes. The passersby could participate by looking inside the box. Their eyes were then projected onto the glass–front of the tower, making it look like the head of a robot with ever changing and personalized eyes. The project was an attempt to make "street–art that anybody can influence and use playfully." Movie. [blogged by Regine on near near future]
