Alone, Together
artist: Lara Baladi
role: software developer
"Alone, Together..., In Media Res" is a generative 3 screen video installation by Lara Baladi. Videos are selected in a semi random process based on an approximately 50 minute long scripted series of scenes. Each scene consists of a "director" monitor filled with single video whose audio is louder than the content being played on the 2 other monitors. The 2 other monitors each select 1, 4 or 9 videos from an archive of thematically related material. Each time the installation advances to a new scene, new videos are displayed and the positions of the videos shift randomly.
This video installation has been viewed in the following galleries:

Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany
Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia in Parkside, South Australia
