Back to Teleporting and Unknown State main page

Teleporting An Unknown State is an interactive work in which local and remote viewers send light from distant locations to a living plant in the gallery. This is the only light that the plant receives, which means that its survival depends on the collective action of local and global participants. In order to send light to the plant, participants click on the name of the city of choice. This activates a light stream right above the plant.
