Paris - Vancouver Slowscan 93

Feb 7, 1993
Field:

Performance, Media Artwork

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

Gwek Bure-Soh presented a slowscan telephone exchange linking Paris and Vancouver. The work comprised two parts: “Jeux d’échecs,” an interactive sound/image performance transmitting a speculative chess game, and documentation of The Telematic Tea Party in Western Front’s Grand Luxe Hall, where a Vancouver afternoon tea became a late-night, tipsy Paris gathering through time difference.

Video documentation is available upon request.
