Description

Streaming Souls is a short experimental performance streamed live in 360 degrees. The performance space was a 4 wall video projection box built at CultureHub NYC. The audience could impact the performance projections in real time, abstracting and offsetting the cohesion of the videos streamed back at them. Streaming souls explores new ways in which we can share spaces by creating a direct connection to the using 360 streaming. 360 video can translate one space to another, giving the audience direct access to a remote location, and in the process places gravity on human connection rather than entertaining isolation. The project is built on top of a custom 360 web player I built, which is now adapted into a live 360 platform called svrround.
