TELECOMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATION
PLANETARY
FAUCETS
COMMUNICATING
MACHINES, CITY OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, PARIS
12 JULY - 25 OCTOBER 1992
Like
“The Telephonic Faucet” (no 46), this work demonstrates
how telecommunications technologies have altered our relationship
to, and perception of, physical space through the use of a
telephone connection to fill a bucket with water. In this
case, the calls are made from the site of the installation
rather than from numerous remote locations, but each call
is makes a trans-global detour with stops in New York and
Tokyo before being redirected to the installation site in
Paris where the valve is triggered.
