Hidden Lines - 2014

Hidden Lines is a kinetic video and light installation by Oliver Hein that will bring new life to an unused space. From outside passersby will be able to look in and wonder at the unfolding narrative, bring their own reasoning and connections to it.

A beautiful blue light pervades a disused shop at the heart of Brighton & Hove’s city centre. On the floor of the shop a domestic robot trundles through the space, bumping into walls turning, moving back across the space in an endless, pointless journey. At the same time words appear on the walls, grow larger and then disappear. Are the words random or are they telling a hidden story, recounting an ancient poem? And what’s the connection between these seemingly disjointed words and the little robot on its endless journey?

Hidden Lines is a kinetic video and light installation by Oliver Hein that will bring new life to an unused space. From outside passersby will be able to look in and wonder at the unfolding narrative, bringing their own reasoning and connections to it.

Hidden Lines is one of six Brighton Digital Festival Arts and Tech commissions selected for the 2014 Festival.
