Alone Together allows users to compose four-word sentences from the following source words:
I/we • am/are • always/never • alone/together
The composed sentences in turn trigger video playback of two individuals engaged in simple movements and gestures. The video pairings are initiated by the word combinations; the video diptychs create unexpected visual and contextual relationships. The user may consider the possibilities suggested by the portraits in relation to each other, and to the meaning of the composed sentence: Are these individuals alone? Or does a relationship exist between them?
Artists: Laurel MacDonald, Shawn Kerwin
Video Production: Laurel MacDonald (camera, video edit and animation)
Programming: Pearl Chen, Paul Forest
