[artinfo] ACCESS project on-line July 27-31

[by way of Adele Eisenstein <adele at c3.hu>]

News for friends of Eyebeam:

Access, a public art installation developed by former Eyebeam artist in 
residence Marie Sester,  will premiere at Siggragh 2003 in the Emerging 
Technologies exhibition in San Diego, July 27 - 31, 2003.

ACCESS applies web and surveillance technologies, allowing web users to 
track individuals in public spaces with a unique robotic spotlight and 
acoustic beam system, without people wearing any gear, exploring the 
ambiguities among surveillance, control, visibility and celebrity.

To participate on-line, the tracking hours are as follows:

      July 27:                1 pm - 6 pm PST (21:00 - 2:00 GMT)
      July 28 - 30:        9 am - 6 pm PST (17:00 - 2:00 GMT)
      July 31:                9 am - 5 pm PST (17:00 - 1:00 GMT)

Sester developed ACCESS in part during her Spring 2003 artist's residency 
at Eyebeam.  The ACCESS prototype was tested in Eyebeam's exhibition space 
on March 28 at a private reception for Eyebeam members and the project's 
cosponsors.
