1 year ago
The video "crossroads (what to do)" deals with the influence of others onto one's own path of life in an abstract way.

    that s cool! great job
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    thank you. it was my very first serious video ever (except some short takes with a bad digicam) so I was very excited how it turned out (this is also the first take).
  • Monika Kotova 1 year ago
    As we can see, you done it very very well :)!

    Great idea. Where did zou find all those devices?
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    hi aleksander,

    this was actually the hardest part because nearly noone I know in berlin drives a car (2 out of 100) and therefore has no device.

    I got some from tomtom , from a rental company and some mates in other cities where having a car is more "normal" :-)
  • Very well done!

    This is the most amazing thing I have seen this year! At the same time very funny, very intelligent and a good visualization of a theoretical media discussion. Supercool!
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    Thank you very much. I am happy that my video is "gettable" as I am always concerned in my works that they aren't :-) .

  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    du ahnst nicht, wie anstrengend das war, durch diese scheibe zu gucken und sich auf den verkehr zu konzentrieren :-)
  • Austrianpsycho 1 year ago
    Vl. kann man das mit nem Navi mit Kamera und Live Ansicht lösen ;)
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago

    sehr cool! absoluter navigationswahnsinn. da fühle ich mich bestätigt, mich immer noch mit straßenkarte und wegbeschreibung auf den weg in unbekannte städte und länder zu machen...
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    ach, so EINS kann durchaus nicht schaden .. aber strassenkarte ist auch schön (kommt drauf an, wie die hersteller sie falten, manche machen einen ja waaahnsinnig) :-)

    I have the impression of hearing only one or two male voices, and a lot of female voices. Any reason for that choice? :)
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    hi eliana
    one reason is, that many of the navs were old ones and they just had one voice installed.
    apparently it also was basically the same voice on different "brands" (except the big companies).

    the question of why there is this heavy use of female voices in all navs has to be asked to the manufactures.

    I think as "traditionally, mostly men are still at the steering wheel when travelling, they find a female voice more appealing, comforting and calmer.

    I'd love that installation to have more different voices, but would have sticked with just female and male as I would find it very disturbing (and too funny) when darth vader ( a voice set of tomtom) would also give his commands ;-)

    wow, that is cool, do you mind i share it on my buzz? great work, how many days does it take to collect all of these device?
    i guess the device are not only from Tomtom, but also Garmin, Eonon , and some others?
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    hi rebecca,
    of course I dont mind that you share it :-)

    its a variety of some tomtoms, not that many garmins, but also a huge load of a OEM-brand which name I forgot ( and never heard of it before). they came with the rental service as I did not manage to collect that much devices of friends and friends of friends as barely noone I know in berlin has a car.

  • what a tenacity! I'd "shut up" that "ladies" after the second turn :)))
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    in a normal situation, I'd do the same ;-)

    Hi Garvin.
    Rouven aus Bielefeld hier, weißte noch? ;-)

    Lustig, bin gerade über das rebelart-Blog hierdrauf aufmerksam geworden: rebelart.net/diary/garvin-nolte-crossroads-what-to-do-2010/005666/

    Top Arbeit, bin schwer begeistert.

    Und liebe Grüße,

    das ist nicht nur sehr lustig und intelligent, es ist gleichzeitig eine der besten installationen zum thema "dreinreden" (österr. vokabel; am ehesten "ungefragt rat geben"). für mich eine der besten "technology art"/readymade arbeiten seit langem. toll. unbedingt zum nächsten prix ars electronica einreichen.
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    da danke ich dir für und fühle mich bzgl. ars electronica noch zu unvorbereitet, um meine sachen irgendwo einzureichen.

    aber man kennt das ja - sollte das gefühl unterdrücken - und es einfach machen und schauen, was passiert :-)

    Reminds me of the center of the universe in a parallel dimension I once visited when I was younger. I also call it "the hall of a thousand choices".

    Awesome installation.

    Are they all set on the same destination?
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    .. no, they are all set to different destinations as "everybody around you mostly have other suggestions what you should do or how your life should turn out and what the best way in living your life is".... :-)

    As there are about 30 destinations, but mostly just 4 ways to move on a street, they very often suggest the same way which leads to the impression they are all set at the same point..

  • Oli 1 year ago
    your installation is great, specially when you are mentionning the suggestions of destinations in life path, then it usually leads to some accident then… :)
  • Garvin Nolte plus 1 year ago
    hehe.. you're right with that accidents ;-)

  • Alanedit plus 1 year ago
    Very interesting. I get the concept of interconnection. Love what it's about. What I wanted to see is the idea taken to it's expansion than abstract, such a good idea that exploring it's potential is ripe for it.

    "Links!", "Rechts!", "Bitte wenden!". Ich meine zu wissen was ausgesagt werden soll. Konnt mich selbst direkt drin wieder finden (komm aus Schöneberg). Wirklich tolle Arbeit!
