I am a Mirror
The idea of this work is to try to get the virtual space of the internet which is created by human individuals back into the "real" public space.
The performing artist will have a device capable of projecting images in front of him, that were uploaded by surrounding people through wireless technology. The artist will thereby carry the responsibility of people that he trusted by being open to their input.
The wearable projection wirelessly connectable piece of technology will not judge or sort the inputs that were given by the surrounding users in any way. The device will be reachable through an open unsecured unencrypted wireless router. The last image that was uploaded to the device will be immediately shown in front of the carrier. Therefor the artist is mirroring his surrounding environment.
Technological realization
In order to achieve those goals a projection device, like a portable beamer, a network device, like a wifi enabled laptop or a wifi enabled raspberry pi, will be needed. Additional to a relatively long lasting power-supply the software plays a crucial part in this performance.
In my research i found a very hand piece of software which pretty much solves a big part of fiddling with certain software packages.
The Pirate Box already comes as an webserver that directly routes all incoming http-requests to one page that offers people to upload their files to the server.
