Eighth International Conference on Information Visualisation (IV'04)
Plato's Cave: An Image Stream Installation within an Office Setting
London, England
July 14-July 16
ISBN: 0-7695-2177-0
Francis T. Marchese, Pace University, New York, NY
Many people work in windowless offices where they are deprived of the sight of their outside environment. With this in mind we created a piece where a view of the surrounding neighborhood is streamed from a camera, through a network, and projected as an ambient display on a blank wall in a hallway of the School of Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS) at Pace University. We discuss the simile of Plato's cave with relationship to our viewers, and comment on the artistic influences of Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro.
Index Terms:
