5 'til 12 is an immersive narrative installation that explores the fragile human ego using evolutionary algorithms and game-theory. Through user identification technology, interactive video-based characters with complex personalities develop in direct response to audience participation over the exhibition.
5 'til 12
From the printing press, through film and
television, to the internet--new technologies
continue to transform the way humans tell
stories.
Now RFID (radio frequency
identification technology), most commonly used to
track merchandise, is being applied in the
service of storytelling. In the Beall Center's
Winter 2006 Exhibition, "5 'til 12" artists Sue
Huang and Brian House combine radio frequency
identification and artificial intelligence
technologies to craft a new twist on the narrative form.
In this nonlinear narrative installation, the
visitor is invited to watch four characters, on
four monitors, as they recount the tragic
circumstances of the exhibition's opening
night. The experience is unique for each
visitor, as each story has most likely never been
heard before... and won't ever be heard again.
Brian House and Sue Huang are collectively known
