kinoki-pi-project

“I'm an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it. I free myself for today and forever from human immobility. I'm in constant movement. […] Freed from the boundaries of time and space, I co-ordinate any and all points of the universe, wherever I want them to be. My way leads towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world.”

info

The Kinoki-Pi-Project is seeking for a medial interface between esthetic meditation and systematic surveillance of society. Therefore we will create and use different artifacts to deal with the meaning of visual observation in urban spaces and landscapes.

conception

The Project is based on the idea of the Kinoglaz described by Dziga Vertov in the quotation at the beginning. The mechanical eye of an camera as an objective perspective on an environment detached from the bodily limitation and capacity of the human and the panopticon as the perfect apparatus of social surveillance Michel Foucault describes in „Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison”

We have written down our ideas and the background in a concept. You can download it here. At the moment it is only available in German.

prototyp

For our surveillance devices we use a raspberry pi microcomputer combined with a camera module. This is how the first prototype looks like:

You want to build your own surveillance device with a raspberry pi + a camera module. Take a look at our „DIY Manual”.
