ok, i am in a capitol city...

where am i?

Are you in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan?


btw, "capitol" or "capital"?...since you're so clever I just want to make sure you're not being too sneaky with the spelling

capitol: a building in which a state legislative body meets; a group of buildings in which the functions of state government are carried out

capital: a city serving as a seat of government; a city preeminent in some special activity {the fashion capital}

i had always been taught that the capitol was the city where the dome was - hence the "o" in each...

if your interpretation is "capital," i'm good with that...

Where in the world am I?
Dominik Bastianello


Our understanding of space is still predominately shaped by Newton’s law of mechanics which regards static space and the continuous flow of time as absolute, autonomous and independent of the viewer. And yet, this notion began losing validity as far back as the early 20th century, as dynamic and observer-dependent spatial concepts such as relativity theory and quantum mechanics began emerging.

In Where in the World am I?, an object and a camera are placed on a double turn table. While the object on the inner plate rotates at a constant speed, the camera on the outer ring can be made to move at varying degrees, ranging from a static state to spinning at the same speed as the object. The resulting video projection depicts "reality" from the viewpoint of the observing camera, revealing a mysterious interdependent and complimentary relationship between the object and its background.
