the Telerobotic Doll Links Lynn
Hershman is experimenting here with issues of identity, extended
vision through machine capabilities among others. The user can click
on the doll's eyes in the picture at the website. Clicking one eye yields a picture
of the doll's actual physical space. Clicking on the other eye results in images
grabbed randomly from the internet. These images get refreshed every 30 seconds.
Also, the doll's head can be moved to extend the viewers gaze into the doll's
physical
space. The doll is controlled by a PC. The computer automatically dials
the internet & connects to a pre-determined server. Submitted
