ghost

Capturing the non physical influences in daily life in material is exciting.

Relating to other people with mobile phones is exciting.

It is exiting to be contacted, to get a phone call, a sms. The joy of being talked to, the joy that somebody turns the attention to you as her or she is for example singing a song for you in the phone.

The distance, the anonymity – the person is far way, there is no big risk involved. The potential of that space, from imagined person to a person physically present.

I walk down the street, receive a call , and somebody is singing a song for me. The voice comes closer, suddenly I hear it right beside me, the he is, the person is singing, right beside me, through the phone, and on the street.

he walks faster, walks by me, dissapears on a big square. he has no body , his body is gone, as I listen to the intimate song through the phone, right into my ear, and see him dissappear on the square.

The ghost like experiences of perceiving a person altering in direct contact and through mediated space.

The ghosts like experience, the absence present all day around, just more blurred, not made so explicit available as in some of the set ups we tested.

The virutality of space, as sounds or information of spaces overlay.

The virutality of our own minds, as they react on memory, imagination, and mash ups of different combinations of present sensory experience and other factors, often without being aware.

Turning towards and evolving in the myth of reality, the myth of a city, that is asleep inside our cells, embedded in our dreams and has a hope, a curiousity to wake up.
