Internet and Network Art Project Idea

Drawing on the idea of Telematics and Telematic art in general, our project will involve the combination of personal and cyberspace.

The project will consist of video or live web cam feed of an individuals bedroom together with a subject, preferably human, within this environment. The footage of the individual will almost certainly be a video filmed on a blue screen. We a currently deciding whether to use a live web cam feed and researching how we can introduce a video overlay on top of this feed. if possible we hope to mix two live feeds. However as we do not necessarily have the facilities and time to implement this we will work with recorded video.

The overall aim is to create an engaging and interesting artifact/project that will explore and showcase people's modern day fascination with social networks and information sharing. The Fantastic Four invites the viewer to view a subject, present in time in another place at the same time.

Please feel free to comment and advise as you see fit. Wish us luck.

Eduardo Kac & Nina Sobell - Inspiration

Read Eduardo Kac's Telepresence Art, where he suggests that Telecoms art is a new communicative form of art.

 

In 2007, its hardly new but its obvious that the web presented contemporary, and especially experimental artists, a new medium for expression.

 

Another bit of research carried out was reading up on Nina Sobell's ParkBench from the seventies and VirtuAlice. Emily also commented on how their work inspired the development of "new technologies, including a wireless telerobotic video camera for streaming video to the Web from remote locations." - a web cam basically! Again, laughable as it seems, its interesting to note how art, however indirectly, influenced technology and vice versa. Interesting. - By Dama James
