Les Transinteractifs

"Transinteractivity is conceived of as a kind of intimacy at a distance, a dialogue of bodies interacting in a virtual tactile space. Many of the performances designed for Les Transinteractifs, a transatlantic colloquium in Paris at the Canadian Cultural Centre and in Toronto at the Ontario Science Centre (OSC) in 1988, emphasized telephatic communication: Christian Sevette's Le toucher transatlantique would have allowed members of both audiences to bring together two pieces of Michelangelo's The Creation of Man in an act of divine inspiration; in Le baiser transatlantique, performance artist Orlan proposed to project on a screen the profiles of two persons from each city, turned toward one another, whose lips would meet in a kiss as they continued to speak French and English respectively (De Kerckhove and Sevette 1990: 15ff)."
