Tony Oursler (1957-) is known as a pioneer of the second generation of video art as well as of new media art. He begins with the fact that people perceive the world through television. He focuses on the relationship between reality and the virtual world and the psychological reactions triggered by the gap in between. Using his wit, it subverts the phenomenon where people immersed themselves to the extreme in the doctored reality or imaginative world that exists on TV, resulting in media coming to control them and taking over their lives. Lock 2, 4, 6 Is a video and projection work that unfolds across a massive space that is 10 meters in width and length. Panels that are sculpted into various forms are subjected to video projections of people's faces, natural objects like flowers, plumes of smoke, and water poured into bottles, resulting in a rich visual experience. Viewers make conjectures as to the causal relationship between the various moving videos within the space, but there is no clear meaning. The artist drew inspiration from Peter Watson’s (1924-2003) experiments on confirmation bias. Watson presented three numbers, “2-4-6”, to 29 test subjects and had them determine the rules by which these numbers were ordered. The answer was that these numbers were simply “ordered from smallest to largest”, but only six people presented the correct answer. Numerous people confidently suggested incorrect answers such as “even numbers” and “multiples of two”. The issue was that the test subjects, in the process of examining the first hypothesis that came to mind when they saw the problem, were more biased towards the possibility of confirming their hypothesis than revising their hypothesis. Through this work, Oursler encourages a discussion of the biases, convictions, and fears inherent in personal perspectives.
