Using image streams on mesh network, cutting edge 3d technology and video projections, the space of the Okno studio will transform itself for the visitors. As an experimental setup, this immersive installation is an assemblage of media in a peculiar way, giving to the video a usage of lightning and space/time reconfiguration, fiddling with perspective illusion, light qualities and texture of real and virtual space. Playing with the open source tools and scriptable realtime systems, some of the data come from other places, carried by the free wireless network “reseaucitoyen” across the city, melting together multiple spaces in a virtual reality collage out of time.
