Lens of Anonymity -
An installation/performance work using on-line telepresence and chat rooms to mask one's identity.
Participating sites include: Arizonia
State University,
Nottingham-Trent University (UK), and Wayne State University. A live public
audience navigated
through the installation at WSU interfacing with distant partners, in
real-time chat rooms.
Performers intracted with live video/audio
streams from both
ASU and UK. 3 dedicated chat rooms were established to help encourage
newbies to reveal
their most inner secrets.
1. Welcome station - introduce w/out name
2. Confession station -
expose your deep thoughts
3. Conversation Piece station - recover and cleanse the self.
