Multimodal Interaction with Internet Data

The telecommunication domain is their favorite playground. They are transforming the realm of the Internet and networks into a gigantic interactive system where the public is engaged with the latest technology. In their artwork Nano-Scape (2004) the visitor wears a ring on his or her finger and can feel the invisible presence of nano particles. The magnetic forces enable the “player” to “touch” the infinitely small. The sculpture transforms, remaining invisible, but the effects are perceptible. The sense of touch, which Duchamp had a strong affection for, is deeply rooted in their work.
