Orbital Rover (2012) is an interactive work using time-based media created by Marina Velez and Russell Cuthbert. The piece addresses the boundaries of our vision in a playful way. A camera, installed in a mock sci-fi probe, orbits the viewer's head inquisitively, recording the back and sides of the head, areas not normally seen by ourselves. The orbiting motion echoes that of our universe, from minute electrons to celestrial bodies, and places the viewer's head in the centre. The visual information taken by the Rover provides a unique perspective, a perspective beyond that achievable by our vision alone. The collected footage will be combined to create a short, impromptu film.
