Content
Although participants are accessing web cams, is the content real. Moreover, what does it mean to provide the viewer with "false" media. This media, comprised of staged footage, may act to fool the viewer into an understanding of what is real and what is fiction. Moreover, the addition of false footage was intended to heighten awareness of the content as well as create a greater sense of narrative between the feeds.
It was my intention that by allowing participants to glimpse into the lives of others, participants can begin to create narratives based on their own, real-time experience. Although it was not provided during the actual prototype, there was consideration in providing a captain's log that would allow participants to share what they have seen through the lens of a the telescope. This captains log would serve to not only record people's observation, but document the project itself.
