Description:
On the computer screen a Web page is visible, in an on-line Netscape environment, which consists of a 400-word database, from which we can always see one screen-size word, governed by the "chance" generator. At the same time, a video projection is shown behind the table on the wall. The same ìchanceî generator governs a database composed of about 400 images (most of them borrowed from the archives of TIT - Scientific Educational Society), which appear one by one on the wall, in a measure of 2 by 1.6 m. The projection can also be arranged so that the words and the pictures are facing each other. It is important that anyone can send a word from anywhere within the Web network. If the viewers block the electric eye with their hands, then the system stops at the picture and word currently projected.
You can send a new, non-contextual reference phrase (a unit of max three words) in an e-mail (sj@dial.isys.hu). (J.S.)
