PORT: Navigating Digital Culture Organized by a r t n e t w e b MIT List Visual Arts Center January 25 through March 29, 1997

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The camera itself is an infrared-sensitive monochromatic camera, well suited to the indirect lighting conditions inside the PORT gallery space. Human bodies (and other warm objects) appear brighter that they would to the unaided eye. It is mounted on a custom-made robotic pan-and-tilt platform suspended at a height of 8 feet from the floor in the center of the PORT exhibit. The device control functions, video processing, CGI engine and camera webserver are handled by an Apple Macintosh Quadra 660AV.
