Internet installation using twitter, tumblr & publicly accessible IP security cameras

"Augmented and virtual realities offer an excitingly novel way to explore human anima, intelligence, and history with measurable and powerful emotional consequences. These emergent technologies bring the possibility of new kinds of interactions with false intelligence, artificial intelligence and masked human intelligence beyond what has been hitherto possible, testing the limits of empathic connection to human figurative imagery within these environments."

– Jeffrey Gangwisch
