About:
Since the early 20th century contemporary art and art theory have creatively challenged the notion of representation. Today, the court of law has increasingly come to rely on the same representational modes and technologies that artists have explored for a long time. How far has the field of law come in regard to understanding a moving image? How do they for instance understand a video filmed testimony? What kinds of problems do photos, video- and surveillance recordings meet as evidence, and in what way do they “speak”? How does the aesthetic of new media technology affect the judicial system in relation to fundamental concepts like truth and representation? The main purpose of the seminar is to discuss the historical and contemporary relationship between the law and representational regimes.

About the exhibition:
Does technology influence the practice of law and justice?
After studying the legal processes of the International Criminal Court for two years, Judy Radul has created the work World Rehearsal Court. In this artwork, she examines the relationship between experience and testimony as well as truth and fiction in the judicial process. Radul draws attention to the way they are interwoven on many levels. In her work, she shows, for example, how events in the courtroom are dramatised by means of video, television monitors, cameras and surveillance equipment.
“The courtroom has often been compared to the theatre. Given the impact of technology, it is perhaps more appropriate these days to compare it to a TV series,” says Tone Hansen.
The work on show at Henie Onstad Art Centre is both an ongoing experiment and a laboratory that examines how courtroom principles work in practice. World Rehearsal Court consists of filmed material from a fictional, enacted trial, and video material that will be shot live inside the exhibition space. Visitors are invited to see and experience for themselves how these various elements are put together. At the same time, they become part of the work, as they are filmed and projected onto screens around the courtroom.
World Rehearsal Court is a seven-channel video installation that runs for a total of four hours. The work also includes four servo-controlled cameras, live video playback, monitors, glass elements and a large quantity of found documentary material. The work has previously been shown in Canada, Austria and South Korea.
