Panopto is a triptych of light boxes, drawing on
elements from my personal
experience of teaching. The
work interrogates the academic environment and the technological applications
that transform educational processes. The increase in the use of technology in higher
education advocates for a higher level of exposure and observance. In the images the institutional
space of the classroom and courtyard acquires a transitional, distanced, even alienating
sense. Panopto is the
brand name of a digital platform that facilitates recording and live streaming
of lectures and presentations, addressed primarily to businesses and
educational institutions.
Panopto was created on the occasion of the Overview Effect exhibition organized by Thessaloniki International Film Festival which invited 14 Greek artists to watch the films of the IC section and create original works for each one of them, I was invited to watch Wet Season, 2019, dir. Anthony Chen.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki (MOMus).
