Paul Sermon: Telematic Dreaming, Telematic Installation 1992

Description:
-----------Category: Pioneers of MediaArt-----------Telematic Dreaming is an installation that exists within the ISDN digital telephone network. Two separate interfaces are located in separate locations, these interfaces in themselves are dynamic installations that function as customized video-conferencing systems. A double bed is located within both locations, one in a blacked out space and the other in an illuminated space. The bed in the light location has a camera situated directly above it, sending a live video image of the bed, and a person ("A") lying on it, to a video projector located above the other bed in the blacked out location. The live video image is projected down on to the bed with another person ("B") on it. A second camera, next to the video projector, sends a live video image of the projection of person "A" with person "B" back to a series of monitors that surround the bed and person "A" in the illuminated location. The telepresent image functions like a mirror that reflects one person within another persons reflection. "Telematic Dreaming" deliberately plays with the ambiguous connotations of a bed as a telepresent projection surface. The psychological complexity of the object dissolves the geographical distance and technology involved in the complete ISDN installation. The ability to exist outside of the users own space and time is created by an alarmingly real sense of touch that is enhanced by the context of the bed and caused by an acute shift of senses in the telematic space. The users consciousness within the telepresent body is controlled by a voyeurism of its self. The cause and effect interactions of the body determine its own space and time, by extending this through the ISDN network, the body can travel at the speed of light and locate itself wherever it is interacting. In "Telematic Dreaming" the user exchanges their tactile senses and touch by replacing their hands with their eyes. "Telematic Dreaming" functions like a mirror that reflects your image within another person's reality. The basic technical system consists of a camera situated above a queen-size bed. The camera receives an overhead view of the bed, which is fortunately of equal ratio to that of video format. The image of the bed, and someone lying on it, is sent via ISDN lines and teleconferencing systems to a video projector situated above another bed in a geographically distant location. The live image is projected down on to the bed, and so with it the live, life-size image of the person. Another video camera situated next to the video projector sends an image of the projection, and the second person lying on the bed under the projection, back to the first bed. "Telematic Dreaming" raises and addresses many questions, but above all, it is the question of consciousness that interests me most. The visual image of the bodily form on a bed allows the user's consciousness to race back and forth between the cause and effect of their remote and local body form. It is a means of extending consciousness through a technological extension of the body.

In Ephémère however, this iconographic repertoire is extended to include body organs, blood vessels and bones, suggesting ...
