LP project

The LP project is a collaborative “in-development” idea dealing with the rather abstract notion of lacking visual perception. We are being stuffed with visual information and the idea of this research is to try to ignore this and try to make the user/viewer “see” things without actual image. We made a 3 minute video, trailer-like, asking questions about the act of “seeing” in order to raise certain interest. All means used in the video are minimal...using nothing but a simple light source we create the needed environment and pose questions about basic notions such as lightness, darkness and the notion of nothing.

What is Internet?

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite to serve billions of users worldwide.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet ).

This is an “in-development” project that aims to collect information and definitions of what is internet from non-users. I started a database of videos, collecting definitions of what the internet is, according to those people. Results are honest, descriptive and tend to bring out simple physical features that could result in gradual materialization of the web.
