Proposal Interstitial Space Helmet view the online proposal here The proposed Interstitial Space Helmet sets up an experiment to explore the use of digital and electronic technology for local and closed network introspection and communication in an isolated environment. The project will explore digital existentialism, narcissism, therapy and meditation by creating what is effectively a digital mirror or window for meeting or presenting the self in a digitised form. Projected results expect that the Interstitial Space Helmet will provide a disconcerting and confrontational experience. The experiment will include recordings of these experiences which will be presented as part of the project. Close Click here to close this window
