description edit

RE:POSITIONING FEAR was the third relational architecture project. A
large scale installation on the Landeszeughaus military arsenal with a
"teleabsence" interface of projected shadows of passers-by. Using
tracking systems, the shadows were automatically focused and generated
sounds. A real-time IRC discussion about the transformation of the
concept of "fear" was projected inside the shadows; the chat involved 30
artists and theorists from 17 countries and the proceedings can be seen
at the project web site.
