Seance Box No. 1

Seance Box No. 1 is a prototype installation created by artist Ken Feingold that explores issues about linking between real, surrogate and virtual spaces. A networked tele-puppet, a human controller, a software agent and an interacting audience engage in a complex language game of rhyme, alliteration and seemingly prophetic speech. Seance Box No. 1 can be understood as a kind of model stage for the future of participatory theatre.
