Statement
A page of work notes relating to the "Capsule Hotel" project, including references to URL, installation and performance elements. There's a sketch of compositional considerations for the CUseeMe video hookup. The measurements were used in sorting out the x-y coordinates (lo-tech HTML process) of popup windows in the opening sequence of the URL.

Bio

With Fakeshop he has instigated and/or participated in numerous experimental Internet broadcasts and real time collaborations in the electronic community, including work with: Radioqualia (Australia); Public Netbase (Austria); Kunstradio (Berlin); NetAffects (Amsterdam); Turbulence (New York); WKCR Radio (New York); Xchange network (International); Hell/No-such (International); Candy Factory (Japan).
