Teleporting An Unknown State

Eduardo Kac

" Teleporting An Unknown State" (1994) creates the experience of the Internet as a life-supporting system. In a very dark room a pedestal with earth serves as a nursery for a living plant. Through a video projector suspended above and facing the pedestal, remote participants send light from the sky of remote cities via the Internet, in real time, to enable this plant to photosynthesize and grow in total darkness.
