3rd Sight works with the sense of sight, its direct access to the logical causality of consciousness, and its connection to the multi-sensory perceptive regime of the body.

Nine TV monitors are attached to a wooden structure, arranged symmetrically around its central axils. The screens show coarsely pixelated, cacophonic stereoscopic video footage of an absurd accumulated mass of objects and artefacts. It appears as if the footage was shot by means of a small automated vehicle, and the only dramaturgical element of the video consists in the vehicle’s progress back and forth through the amassed artefacts. Wearing the glasses provided causes the 3D imagery to appear insistently aggressive, a violent effect that is exacerbated by the rough, unpolished surface of the wooden structure and the almost unbearable noise of real-life sound. Watching 3rd Sight is a painful experience.
