In 66movingimages Ziegler has installed his journey as an interactive road movie on Route 66. Thanks to the linear navigator, the road from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA becomes the over-arching spatial interface. The motorized screen, mounted on an 6-meter long rack, can be controlled by the viewer. When the monitor is in motion or stopped, what you see are spatial and temporal images from a filmic map. When moving, the film reproduces the spatial image metamorphoses. When it is static, you see scenic/documentary takes. The viewer navigates right through to the single-image level of the film. Here, 'moving images' are images which the viewer moves.
66movingimages was shown first at the Future Cinema exhibition at ZKM. Due to logistical difficulties it has been shown elsewhere very rarely. Ziegler creates a new, more compact system for Artefact.
