Daniel Silverman: Large Project #5--Street Life / רחוב חיים

Eighteen cities, and in each one, seventeen large video screens projecting views from each of the other cities.

Each screen is 2 meters in length, producing life-size images. All seventeen are posted in a row on a popular street.

Each screen is equipped with a 24 hour video camera facing the street, along with microphones and speakers, so that people in each city can see and hear you exactly--in real time--as you see and hear them.

Walk down the street, and you travel the world.

Say hi to someone on the other side of the planet--maybe you'll catch their eye or ear, and they'll say hi back! Do I hear wedding bells?

...A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
