This is a long and casual chain of networks talking to mediums who talk to other chains of intermediaries. Of course there are casual intermediaries. What we must guard against are epistemic intermediaries. Another example of multiple social network relationships is the Simon Penny's Traces artwork. The installation is set in three Cave locations, Tokyo, Bonn and Chicago.
Traces allows people to interact with movements and volumes.
People are exposed to a large virtual space where distributions of sound and movements of the floor take place. Each Cave contains web cameras and body maps of the visitors. The machines provide an experience to replace the real body. This is a contemporary view of overcoming distance. The social interaction takes place in real time and builds a stage for robots and people to communicate with each other through a transparent interface.
