The base technology of the installation is the Breathe On Me Touch You (BOMTY) Net FanCam. Operating seamlessly in conjunction with Touch You robo-controller software, internet visitors from anywhere in the world can log on to one of the FanCams and contact physical installation visitors. Once logged on the ephemeral net visitor visually finds and tracks a nearby corporeal visitor. They can then activate the fan as a gesture of breath and an offering of communication. Physical visitors sense the interest of remote internet participants by the motion and activation of the FanCams. They can then acknowledge and accept the remote gesture by looking into the cam and receiving the gentle fan breath.
The BOMTY 700PT Net FanCam is a custom modified Hawking HNC700PT Remote-Motion CCD Network Camera tansformed into a movable fan guided by a pan/tilt camera. When programmed, the control of the camera and fan are accessible to network users anywhere. Touch You robo-controller software is a modified and highly aesthetic version of the Hawking interface to facilitate optimum use of the FanCam.
