Technology

Software

Dislocation of Intimacy runs under the Linux operating system on a Pentium II 266 MHz computer. A serial interface was custom designed to control the lighting. Still video images are captured by a PC-37XS microvideo camera installed in the box and transferred to WinVision pro video capture card in the computer. The controller and switching software were custom written for this application.

Descriptions & Essays

Dislocation of Intimacy is a net-based installation by Ken Goldberg and Bob Farzin that explores the delicate relationship between the immediate and the mediated. The installation includes a sealed black steel box in our studio that is accessible via the Internet. ``the user selects from among five lights, clicks the button, and receives a surrealist and mysterious shadow, which arrives at the user's screen in gray-scale and without content.'' Currently, the system is off-line. However, we have preserved the user interface and have archived the last images from the box. To view the simulated box interior, users may select combinations of five buttons. Each combination produces different simulated lighting conditions, resulting in unique shadows.
