MultiLocal Gallery
It would be interesting to create a gallery which merged two distant spaces by creating two “window-walls” showing the remote space, on which multimedia “frames” could be placed to show the content of the exhibition. Visitors in each space could see visitors walking through the callery in the remote space. It would also be possible to merge 3, 4, 5, or more spaces just by giving each wall to an additional space. Shown here is an arrangement merging Location A, B, and C with “telepresence walls”.

It’s sometimes useful to think of the screens as windows into another adjacent space. “Windows” on wheels, either landscape or portrait orientation, could be a basic building block of a complex multi-channel architecture merging two remote spaces.

These are the conventional bread-and-butter bilocal performance (or other group event) consisting of two locations, with performers and audiences in each location, each location being more or less equal in focus. One nice addition to note is additional or secondary screens, usually above and behind the audience, so that performers can see what’s happening in the digital feed and place themselves in relationship to the camera and space.

We can enhance events with additional telepresence channels per site, allowing a richer and more complex interaction or stronger sense of integration between the two spaces. For example, we could provide separate screens allowing the audiences to each other, giving them their own “back channel” of interaction. This is a simple advance from a conceptual point of view, but could be very powerful.
