"Crossing Talks (communication rafting)"

Advances in telecommunications technology have numbed our sense of distance and appear to have weakened our ability to truly communicate.
In this work, communication in a virtual environment is propagated through the use of the solid-image CAVE system. Visitors are surrounded by four unrelated images; a lack of equilibrium among the visitors causes the floor to tilt, thereby undermining the connection to the images. In order to stabilize the connection, visitors must communicate amid an infinite continuation of a one-way conversation.
