The Chinese Room (installation)
Långström Minna
The Chinese Room is a participatory installation and a 3D-animation in which the viewer steps into a space and assumes the role of a voyeur in a surveillance room. The user can change the view and follow events in different places. There is also a security camera which films the viewers so they appear in the animation too; both watcher and watched.

Långström is a media artist and filmmaker. Her artistic work consists of films – short fiction and documentary – as well as cinematic installations, combining moving images with spatial elements. Her work processes tend to be extensive, well researched and interdisciplinary. Her work focuses on social perspectives on technologically mediated narratives and visual technologies, as well as certain political histories and their cinematic influences on the present. The intuitive experience and role of the viewer is a central aspect of her installations.
