In the interactive, computer-supported installation of the Cologne artist, Vera Doerk, the viewer is confronted with his own image photographed by a camera in realtime. This image appears on a projection wall as part of a virtual three-dimensional computer model. Always the first of five projected images is being updated every fifteen minutes while the previous image moves to the end (update).
The viewer can influence the perspective representation of the model through her/his own movements. The sound controlled by movement, frequency range and sound intensity can also be changed.
The installation was presented to the public for the first time in 2003 at Kunsthochschule für Medien and at Popkomm in Cologne.
