Edia is a real-time narrated media presentation by Willy Le Maitre displayed in stereographic format.
Edia; A cosmology of digital space. The work explores the topologies of information space, visualizing the enfolded aesthetics of the networked world. The work details the notion of a distributed self; distinguishing an individual's body from its counterpart, the dividual. The dividual extends the self into a mesh of relations, communication, emotings.
5 - Edia is an entity that distributes the self in a constellation of points around the globe. The points are personified by 'friends' in dialog. The entity's interconnected points on the network form an analogous structure in our own bodies. Edia's molecular constitution is bonded by audiovisual channels that are both its memory and links to the possible in sequences of event. Its amalgamations of inter subjective perspective visualize reality as an artifact of communication.
6 - Video is used by edia as a signature of the known -- that what is seen becomes the known. Video coats the surfaces of the spheres -- the central motif of the work. Our knowledge of this planet is largely based on our experiences on its surface.
