TEST: Digital window



As a test of boundaries and how we imagine that which is on the other side of the wall.

As we live in a semi detached house and know our neighbours very well, we often joke that we should simply knock the wall down.

This wall is an example of an unwelcome boundary.

I thought about tackling the problem by embracing the wall and turning it into a window rather than a screen.

When I approached them they were happy to let me to create a virtual window. I used the go-pro HD camera to get a good widescreen shot.

We could then see each other as if we were in the same room.

It was a great surprise for Keane (on the left) who immediately engaged with the window.

I have yet to analyse the future potential for this work, but like the conceptual idea of removing something, in this case a wall, from a space without physically altering it.
