Telematic Dreaming by Paul Sermon
This work is really amazing. I'd love to have one of these "beds" now that I'm far away from home. It was produced not as a Furniture, but as a temporary art installation. Anyway it can perfectly fit in our contemporary daily connected life. It's worth the time to take a closer look and enjoy the videos.
"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". (Paul Sermon)
