real actors
Real actors control the virtual actors on the
other stages by means of sensors, computers and the Internet.
The real actor moves and acts on the stage like on a chessboard. His
position on the stage is transmitted immediately to all other locations
(and of course other stages) by the "operator" that is located
at one corner of the stage. This kind of "prompter" tells his
computer where the actor on the stage is standing or moving. Not only the
position of the artist is transmitted, but also some physiological
and psychological data is recorded. Sensors that measure pulse-frequency
and skin-conductivity enable the computer (together
with the operator) to "calculate" the actor´s mood. To help the computer to guess the artist‘s
mood the operator enters his personal opinion about it (e.g. the operator
enters: very excited, angry). Additionally speech and sound are digitized
and transmitted to the other locations where loudspeakers reproduce the
received sound.
