The Tunnel under the Atlantic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tunnel under the Atlantic is an interactive art installation by Maurice Benayoun. The visitors where invited to dig, inside memory, a virtual tunnel between Pompidou centre in Paris and the Museum of contemporary Art in Montreal in 1995. More than a technical performance, as the first intercontinental virtual reality artwork (called "televirtuality", Philippe Quéau, 1994), this installation was one-of-a-kind example of what Maurice Benayoun calls architecture of communication. As another way to explore limits of communication, after Hole in Space by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinovitch, The Tunnel under the Atlantic introduces the concept of Dynamic semantic shared space.
