Gary Hill creates complex video installations that allow viewers to interact with various video and projection technologies. In his work "In Between cinema and a hard place", Hill explores the relationship between cinematic and real space by using immaterial light and sound to investigate space across multiple video monitors of varying sizes connected through a computer system. One of Hill's early works, "Primary", breaks down spoken language by associating colors with shapes in the words "Blue, red, green".

2. Gary HillGary Hill has created quite complex video installations using combinations of stripped down monitors, projections and laser disk technologies so that the spectator can interact with the work.How does Gary Hill use space to create meaning ?In Between cinema and a hard place Gary Hill explores the relationship between cinematic and real space. He investigates space through the immaterial play of light and sound, the exhibition includes works in which objects have a strong material presence. The exhibition comprises twenty-three video monitors of various sizes, the multiple monitors are conjoined through a computer-controlled video-switching. The layout of the installation is to give an impression of simplicity its as if Hill has taken video apart, exposed it and taken away the framings that separate it from the space of the museum and viewers.

3. I chose Primary by Gary hill artist represents and breaks down the movements of the articulation of the spoken language by associating a colour with each shape. The three words on the tape are: 'Blue, red, green'.Primary was one of the first tapes to use spoken text as an element for structuring images and the work itself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIRJaQAN3qsI thought this was a good example of hill’s work. I like the repetitive colour change and the simplicity of it.
