1- Telart Project
http://www.telart.org/




Telart was a collaboration between Bjørnar Habbestad and Jørgen Larsson. The project has been exhibited in Stavanger and Oslo in 2006 and 2007.

In Telart, messages and conversations transmutes the intended and becomes something else. Both as semantic objects and as sonic components, the way we talk to each other comes to life outside the context of our normal everyday interaction with telecommunications technology.

Telart is a three-legged project consisting of a series of modified phone booths placed in public spaces, a sound installation and a telephone server providing contact with the telephone users of the city. During the exhibition people in the streets can engage with the phone booths and leave messages of any topic to be communicated to an anonymous audience of local phone users. This slight transformation or perversion of the phone system allows the artists to create a large network of knowing and unknowing people - communicators, receivers, and participators - all connected solely by the artwork.

As Telart's phone system and the messages it is collecting will grow during the period it is exhibited, a sound installation will slowly evolve. The collected messages will find their way and place into a sound installation for people to eavesdrop on.

Project Eavesdrop

Jeffrey Shaw, David Pledger
2004
Interactive Installation

Presented in a 360 degree purpose-built cinematic environment, ten people are forever doomed to repeat nine minutes of their lives. Exploring terrain that is at once spiritual, moral, ethical, psychological and physical, this ingeniously crafted artwork is driven by any member of the public who, as the free radical user-director, reveals the secrets embedded in the interconnected stories.

Eavesdrop is a multi-narrative mediation of psychological states in and around the theme of social action. The stories take their cue from middle Australia and talk around, speak to, allude and confront a certain condition of morality.

You`ll finding yourself at the middle of the installation platform trying eavesdropping every person on the scene , it look like an amazing piece of installation . Even sound can affects you is cognitively. You can't understand two people talking at once but in this case i find myself  try and listen to the other one by ignoring the sound i don't wanted . 



The artist of this project state eavesdrop project is intended to work on three layers: the interior landscapes of the characters, their public narratives, and the engagement with the spectator through the simple interactive medium of zoom and pan functions on a platform-module that the user employs to navigate the space.
