Re-Presencing A Denser Now- Scopic Devices for the London EYE

Abstract

This paper presents the early stages of a research project to design conceptual prototypes of digital viewing devices for the pods of the Millennium Wheel (London Eye). 

The project will develop various ideas for a range of speculative technological devices that will reproduce views of the London cityscape as mediatised scenes that play with representations of the past, the live present and possible futures. The antecedents of this project are the slot-machine binoculars installed on the pier, the public telescope and the camera obscura.
