Internet and network art -2008

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 services 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.
