IN CONVERSATION
an interactive art intervention by Susan Alexis Collins
at: www.inconversation.com
In Conversation is an installation and intervention, an experiment in
interfacing the world wide web with the street. Audio and video
projected onto Duke Street in Brighton, is controllable remotely by
users of the website both locally and world-wide.
Internet users can see video (surveillance) images, and audio fed back
from the street in Brighton, and given the opportunity to strike up
conversations with strangers on the street, via this virtual voicebox.
Street participants see images projected onto the pavement, and hear
computerised voices and other sounds, without seeing a computer.
Microphones pick up the 'real' sounds and voices from the street feeding
them back through the net link.
