ZOOOOOM
Paul Wong, 2010
2 channel, stereo, colour, 49 min w/ credits [4:3]

ZOOOOOM was originally created and presented as a video presentation on a specially equipped bus that was part of ’5′, a series of site-specific projects for the 2010 Winter Olympics. www.5.paulwongprojects.com
It was a moving audio/visual journey, passengers zoooom through the urban core on a magical mystery tour. Departing hourly participants experienced distorted and altered space created by real and edited time mashing fiction, non-fiction and abstract sources. ZOOOOOM into a moving cinematic view was not your usual guided tour.

ZOOOOOM is now available as a 2 channel video that can be shown on a moving bus, gallery installation, or screened theatrically.

Right Channel: Round Trip
