Plural art: Distributing videos in plural form through the web

Abstract

This paper presents a way that distributes one concept through video art in plural form, assuming that audience in the world are active audience. This video art uses the web, web browsers, web API, video service on the web and video production software. Audience as information receiver can understand a concept of the work in complementary point of view, and artist as information sender can send the concept from various angles through the work. Motif of the work is Auschwitz Museum. In the exhibition, we could observe behavior of audience that they started to see the work in complementary point of view and recognized the fact of plural form. It seems to us that this behavior of the audience indicates that they discovered existence of others and took the existence of others into their own consideration through viewing the work. We hope audience find something essential behind the videos in plural form as plural art.
