For this residency, artists Yu-Ching Chiang and TING.S were selected from our open call Designing the Message of the Medium. This open call asked: How would you redesign the tools, visual design and interactions of Enter, in order to create and alter intimate, human-focused online interaction in the platform?
Chat Plannnnnnnet
Yu-Ching Chiang and TING.S worked on Chat Plannnnnnnet, a web-based geographical coordinates system video chat room with one of Enter's developers and creative coder Ibo Ibelings. They question the necessity of geographical and body awareness while we perceive and interact with and within the digital space. The ultimate aim is to open up a dialogue about the redesign of alternative tools for future internet-based conversations. See the documentation of their process showing their earlier work at V2 where this residency was based on:
