Urban
'telepresence' as social prosthesis. In the public space sculptures
are installed. Everybody can select them by telephone or mobile
phone, so that one can speak out of the sculptures. Passers-by can
reply through microphones in the sculptures. A discussion can develop
between strangers, protected from anonymity. The character of the
on-line discussion is transferred into the local urban space.
Occasion:
Researchproject at MIT Media Lab
