This
projected environment also contains live images of other
CompuObscura participants (interacting in distant CompuObscura
installations), and ghost-like images of other people
captured from surveillance camera installations in public
spaces around the globe.
Also inserted into this projected
environment are a number of ghost-like wisps of smoke
(roughtly the size of the participants) which display
a wide variety of Lumiere Ghost images lifted from films,
television shows, and moving images siphoned on the
fly from Internet feeds around the country and from
a number of countries in Europe and Asia.
As CompuObscura participants
move around the room, they can see that their movements
influence the movement of the Lumiere
Ghost images in the projected environment. CompuObscura
participants can also interact with some of the ghost-like
participants in the projected environment who may, in
fact, be participants in other, distantly located CompuObscura
installations.
