      The Medium - Telepathic Fish

Fish from the rhine, maybe choose a species that allready extincted because of ecological situation. {Salmon, Sturgeon} The fish swims in a tank thatŐs on the boat and filled with water directly pumped from the rhine, so that ideally the fish swims the whole distance of the journey.


The Collective Memory

.collect documents (photo,film,sound,text) related to the area Cologne-Amsterdam .topics: social/economic history, ecology, cultural activity ... .use the web as total archive (...) .use a geographic map and assign to each document itŐs location coordinates. .link the database to a GPS triggering device








 
  The Program

The telepathic fish swims during the whole journey with the boat, discovering and observing the environement as it became through massive human presence and extensive social/economical activity. The telepathic fish can connect with the Collective Memory and it transmits itŐs dreams, nostalgic or moralistic memories relating to the locations it swims through. It can also capture signals from other media processes that will take place on the boat or in the connected locations of the project. The result is a parallel -synchronic and diachronic- journey into space and time. Guided by the Telepathic Fish


The Setup

.outside livecam on the boat (with sound) .fishtank filled with water directly pumped out of the rhine. .blue box around the fishtank .camera recording the fish .monitor for the fish allowing it to see the outside .GPS interfaced to a computer to launch the documents from the database when the fish (the boat) reaches the coordinates assigned to a particular document .live editing facilities to key the fish with the view of the outside livecam, with the database footages, or other signals emitted through the reBOOT project .edited signal is streamed on the net via satellite connection .edited signal can be viewed on the boat on monitor/ live stage screen, or with individual video-goggles.
