Abstract:
Panel: Intimate TV: Webcamming & Social Life-logging In the Surveillant-Sousveillant Space
In 2009 I started the artistic research project Huis Clos / No Exit. Part of it is an ongoing networked performance series investigating collaboration, that I will discuss in this panel. In this project I use a specially developed interface to unite several people remotely in a shared performance space which becomes subsequently both a laboratory and a play ground. The experiences in this series, as with other experiences in cyberformance, might suggest that today’s intimacy is no longer revealed through private images but through shared behaviour captured in real time interactions. I hope to end the presentation with a short demonstration of a remote caress.
