In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGW6Rm437tE,
there is a door in the middle of the walking area in a city in Europe. When a
participant opens the door another city in Europe is shown on a screen within
the door. There is a camera set up in both cities, so participants can see what
is on the other side. On one side there is a performer who is ready to perform,
and on the other side there is a participant who decided to open the door. While
web cams are not new technology, this video shows how this older technology can
be used in a new way, in a public, group way, with strangers on a side walk. It
creates a type of interactive art piece that connects the large public world
together and makes it smaller.
