ANTI-SMOKERS-SP01

anti-smokers-sp01 is a selfportrait of the author relating to a smoker's conditioning in an environment conditioned on anti-smoking and the conditioning of a non-smokers' environment by a smoker's dispostions. interactivity focuses on the personal use & view of the user. anti-smokers-sp01 can be viewed as a classical photo series or - by moving the scrollbar up & down in an individual rhythm - as animated movie in 8 parts, each developing a different rhythm through the user's emotional & sensual approach. Is there more to health than health- and anti-health questions ? More to moral than moral- and anti-moral questions ? Truth- and anti-truth questions ? Do individual approaches to perception maybe contain more authenticity & reality than theories & classified approaches of perception ? alexandra reill 2002

NY9202


an online collage referring to ongoing war nyc / vienna / 1992 / 2002 NY9202 relates to the catastrophy of 11 / 09 / 02 and its consequences as an seemingly unending conflict between two old and redundant views of life, as an ongoing war of the rich for power and capital and a war of the poor for equal rights, freedom of belief and stable economics. during a visit of N.Y.C. in 1992 a collage book of collected materials from commercials combined with notes, markers' drawings and acrylic paintings relating to daily / normal life and characteristic aspects of N.Y.C. emerged. the ongoing war between the U.S. and the muslim world transforms the look at life in N.Y.C. and everybody's life in the western world. images of poverty and suffering, of war and hunger do not bear any gimmicks or decoration and cannot be erased from anybody's mind. Daily life is not the same any more kanonmedia.com cannot believe in warfare but definitely believes in peaceful solutions and equal human rights for everybody and every culture. NY9202 is meant to be a piece expressing deep concern about global developments and raising a voice for peace and against war. concept / drawings / collage: alexandra reill, 1992 / 2002 production: kanonmedia.com, 2002

S.P.I.N.Y.

A film script produced as a text & photo story on the basis of collage principles allows the user to surf through the story of Sandrella which describes the phases of personal development the main figure has to live through until she can find her way out of dependencies into freedom of decision.

S.P.I.N.Y. is an interactive collage experimenting with the options and boundaries of interactivity to provoke interactivity in the user's personality. Collage, fragmentation and an intuitive navigation structure reflect the theme itself: the fragmentation and variety of female identities today.

So-called beauty tests stop the user from going on in the story and ask for an interactive decision - psychological tests of the kind of psycho tests being found in fashion magazines.

The test evaluations give the user a characterization of his behaviour, provoking in the user at the same time the question whether he / she should take for serious the judgement imposed on him / her or whether he / she could form his / her own opinion about him- / herself.

Being a game, S.P.I.N.Y. creates the outer task of finding the chronological way through the story and the inner task of sensually developing a personal attitude towards Sandrella's and - much more so - one's own process of decision-finding.
