彼得‧威柏 Peter Weibel 1969, 17:48mins

簡介/Synopsis

「多媒體I」是歐洲最早的媒體藝術事件之一，1969年4月在維也納的「年輕的一代畫廊」舉行的。同時也是最早觀察觀眾的錄影紀錄之一。彼得‧威柏站在入口處，在攝影機前跟參觀者談論這個展覽，而且在幾台螢幕上同時出現現場的談話直播。
「把觀眾當作展品」的內容一方面是如此，同時另一方面，它也是第一位「實驗之夜」批判者，其中一次的談話就是以此為名。觀眾沉默的眼光也蠻有趣的，大家悄悄地試著控制自己在鏡頭前的模樣。

In April 1969, the Multi Media I one of the first media-art events in Europe, took place in the Viennese gallery, Junge Generation. And at the same time, it was one of the first staged observations of the public by video. Peter Weibel stood at the entrance and, in front of the camera, engaged visitors in conversations, which could be followed in parallel live on monitors, about the exhibition.
This is how “Das Publikum als Exponat” (The Public as Exhibit) saw itself on one hand, but also simultaneously as the first critic of the “experimental evening”, as it is called in one of the conversations. What is also interesting are the discrete glances of the people trying to check out their own appearance on the monitor unobtrusively.
