Talking Rooms
Talking Rooms is an interactive video installation in which users in two rooms interact with patterns of light, sound, and images through an analog feedback mechanism: Two pairs of a camera and a projector are placed in two rooms to create an infinite tunnel illusion in which instances of each room (and its users) alternate in both space and time. Talking Rooms installation was exhibited at MIT ACT, and Artrages exhibition in Boston.
System Design
Each room is equiped with a video camera and a projector which are aligned such the point of view of the camera and the frame of the camera are the same as the point of projection and the frame of the projector. The signal of the camera of each room is projected on the projector of the other room creating an infinite corridor.
Visitors in each room see decrementally previous timesteps of the visitors of the other room alternating with decrementally previous timesteps of themselves on each frame of the infinite corridor.
