The movement and flow of an urban environment is captured and transmitted by wireless cameras connected to moving bicycles. The interaction and interference of flow when travelling through the city is visualized and broadcasted from television sets at local businesses, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The cameras transmit wirelessly on the same frequency and interfere with each other. This collision of radio waves translates into distorted and volatile real-time editing of video and audio viewable on a monitor within range. Interaction is defined by interference. Either entering as a cyclist or non-cyclist, the public becomes engaged with a network where negotiations between people and hardware, cross signals culminates in a continuous spatial-temporal state of change. Biography Michelle Teran is an artist who lives and works in Toronto. Her work involves primarily mediated performances that address networking of the digital and the organic and deal with virtual place and space which involve different levels of collaboration. Her practice is divided between theatre and Live Art projects within internet spaces to live, mediated events within local spaces to somewhere inbetween. Technology is used to develop dynamic networking environments in which performance can take place. Michelle is currently artist-in-residence at [Waag Society for Old and New Media] in Amsterdam. |
