Experiment for mediating corridors/cross roads hang out

Becasue the camera is int he middel of the screen, it feels that you look each other into the eye.

Informal conversation are fundamental to how organizations function. Is it possible to mediate such informal gatherings? In this experiment, buiding upon the experience of the Presence Lab, a mediated corridor was established between Stockholm, Eindhoven and Helsinki. Hereunder you find pictures and movieclips of the experiment.

Media

  • To know with which corridor we were chatting we have to show the name of the place where the body resides.
  • Enjoying a chat with Helsinki. Sound design is vital for ths set up to become real.
  • Chatting away with several people at the same time in two locations that are part of three.
  • Looking into synchronization and awareness of place
