Be[ing] Interface by Lorna Moore, England
1.38mn, Video, 2007
"Be[ing] Interface" is a video installation using real time video interaction. Two bodies occupy separate spaces with a real time video camera pointing at them. Both participants interact with one another in remote locations. They are able to interact via the real time video link. These dual digital doubles of their enlarged heads are projected onto a large wall. Each participant sees the other person's digital double and there own projected over each other to form a completely unique digital 'being'. Each pair of participants 'play' with their real time new identity that is morphed together in real time. A renaissance is created through the digital technology which challenges our perception of the portrait/identity and the location of the body and consciousness.
