Visual walk and wool installation

Portable projectors, wireless surveillance cameras, radio frequency reception devices, wool, mirrors, corridor

Walk-itch is a site-specific visual walk and wool installation inside a corridor. The work is composed of a number of portable projectors, radio frequency receivers and live-stream surveillance wireless cameras. All the equipment is powered through batteries.

Each portable set is composed of a portable projector, a receiver and a wireless camera which are handed over to participants. Participants operate the equipment in pairs, one person carries the portable projector (plugged into the receiver), and the other carries the wireless camera.

All cameras and receivers are connected to the same frequency (channel), and so participants can interfere in the projections of other participants. Participant perform together in the corridor using the furniture, their bodies, ceiling, floor, walls and other participants as projection surfaces and as things to look at through their wireless camera.
