When you wish upon a star.
media: installation
The user sends a wish through a special terminal in the form of a
message. This information is converted into data in the form of a
blinking white circle. The information is then projected onto about
forty round objects made to look like stars hanging from the ceiling one
message at a time. The user then looks through a web camera modified to
resemble a telescope to view the objects. The blinking pattern is
analyzed and converted into characters, which are displayed on a nearby
monitor along with a real movie.
