Paired with the Demonstration film, this v.2 recording completes the archival picture of Levin's installation practice; the expanded scene vocabulary and extended duration allow the work's underlying logic — the hand as site of dream-body projection — to accumulate.
Screen recording of an interactive installation. Documentation, not film — and the v.2 distinction matters only to people already in the conversation.
Screen-recording documentation of an interactive installation — twenty-plus scenes of hands warping in real time. The documentation isn't the work, and it shows; better as evidence than as experience.
