The speed and transcontinental abilities of sophisticated telecommunications impact our physical and physiological being within cultural structures. The developments of certain technologies have continued to push the boundaries of the conceptual transfiguration of a person's perception of space and reality, manipulating our senses and assaulting our feeling of corporeality. Through my installation, I present the viewer with multiple modes of telecommunications, allowing the viewer the options of being an active participant in their experience, or become a passive spectator. I aim to challenge the individual to discover a higher awareness to their physical being through social-technological interaction, and question the ethical responsibility of social-political structures implementing these given technologies.
