Line of Site V
Arqhé + Blair Taylor, 2e Rencontre internationale en arts visuels, La Chambre Blanche, Québec, QC
1999
Site specific telematic installation.
A public passage cuts transversally through an apartment by passing through the front and back outside doors of the building to create an urban shortcut. A web site is connected with this "real site" enabling the cybernaut to directly and physically interact with the real site. Clicking on the live video images on the web site modify specific physical elements of the real site (rotation of the kitchen table, lighting, displacement of the webcam and mirrored dividers). Inversely, the actions of visitors and dwellers of the real site can influence the virtual site on the web. The passer-by triggers sensors, which activate a sequence of variables modifying the elements of the web site.
