From August 5 to August 20, 2006, Human Browser is performing at the Sydney Esquisse Art and Design Festival, curated by Simon Horauf & al. The idea was to direct the performance from Paris with a remote live video link and I had to rework the code a little bit to have the whole installation set up. On the picture you can see the actress, Beccy Iland, with a webcam on her shoulder and Wi-Fi laptop in her backpack (a nice idea by Simon which allowed to simplify everything). Thanks to the live video link between Sydney and Paris, I can see and hear what Beccy sees and hears in Sydney. I input keywords on my computer in Paris and the text-to-speech audio flow hijacked from Google arrives in Beccy’s headset.
