Technical needs to participate.

Each partipant is required to have a broadband internet connection and be willing to have a camera installed and connected to their modem or router and pointing at something continuously. Possible images might be what is out of the window, or the family living room. The project will be ongoing for a year. The camera will broadcast the results to the internet where the results will be turned into an artwork.

Technology

Set up ten cameras in an online environment.

I have yet to make a decision on the placement of the cameras and the best use of the cameras, the deployment and the possible social interaction. However the online space will be cross platform tested. It will uses a series on php scripts customized and integrated into a mysql database to gather the images (assets) from the cameras. These images will be bounced to the host site and they will be arranged within normal HTML web pages. Additional modification may result in the use of shockwave and more custom scripts to make the final artwork. As such the final piece will be viewable on any end uder machine. However the work will not be limited to this and can be exhibited in art galleries or intergrated into larger display systems.
