Neil Beloufa- The Colonies

The Colonies is an exhibition at MoMa by Neil Beloufa, a French artist. He combines sculpture and moving image media to create fascinating viewing spaces. The Colonies is an installation made by hand by Beloufa from inexpensive materials. You’ll see seating arrangement across from a closed CCTV system with monitors and cameras.

You’ll see the installation rotate- its built with pieces of transparent materials with monitors projecting media works. Each monitor projects a different visual scene, and the scenes are nature based with bird sounds. This installation is unique and unlike a film or video, it comes to life as layers of media work projected on actual objects that are most likely recycled.

Not only is this a great environmental purpose, but it’s taken experimental video art to a 3D level.
