Webcam Relaxation Room
2002, Video Projections, Gallery II, Western Michigan
University
Three video projectors display images from global webcams
consisting of a rotating series of live webcams and previously recorded webcam
footage. On the opening night, the live channels featured the webcam projects
of students at Western Michigan University participating in a webcam seminar.
The edited webcams belong to an ongoing series entitled, “Waterhole
Webcams,” focusing on observations, interactions and representations
of webcams centered on bodies of water. Water is the strange attractor, which
draws participants to drink, bath and enter into the field of vision.
