Examples from Gina's projects



Tristan Reveur

hoax and fake documentary 2008
Honored with “Best of Diploma”
This project introduces an identity, which was created in cooperation between strangers on the internet. Tristan Reveur is their common creation, an idealized virtual artist.


ATTAKK

blue-jacking 2007 Műcsarnok, Budapest
The visitor to !REVOLUTION? international exhibition is spammed by an unsolicited mobile phone media message (bluejacking) in every 15 minutes. The message arrives in the form of a picture, video or a sound file representing major turning points in 20th century Hungarian history. These media messages point to the common features of 1919 (shortlived communist takeover and the resulting “white terror”, a farright dictatroship), 1956 (uprising against the Soviet occupation), 1989 (collapse of communism, system adjustments) and 2006 (anti-governmental and police clashes).


Separating Fusion

video-performance 2007 Helsinki
"Long time ago the Finns and the Hungarians used to speak the same language, called ancient Finno-Ugrian
But they are not able to communicate with each other anymore with terms of Finnish and Hungarian.
Nowadays English is the language nearly everybody is able to speak or understand. But isn‘t there anything else? Another way of communication?
What happens when a young Hungarian video artist meets a young Finnish media artist and they start working together in order to find language they both speak?"



Stuttgarter Stickers

Videorgina

vlog 2004
Közel két évig üzemelt az első magyar videó blog, egészen 2006-ig, mikor videó-portfólióvá alakult, majd a videómegosztó site-ok elterjedésével, 2006 végén megszűnt.
