Those in London must visit the Chelsea area and pop in to the Saatchi Gallery’s new film and video space. The Saatchi Screen is currently hosting Chicago-based artist, Christopher Baker’s, ‘Hello World!’. The impressive installation comprises a wall featuring 5,000 Internet video diary entries, which makes for a striking and unique mosaic.
This piece of art highlights how modern technology has brought about a dramatic shift in the power of communication by enabling self-broadcasting. There are a vast amount of video diaries available on the internet and in order to qualify for inclusion in ‘Hello World’, each example of work must be the diarist’s first.
