Bosma on Fakeshop

Fakeshop is a collective of artists, physically based in New York, but operating around the world.
At the time of the interview, in 1997, they were recreating scenes from significant movies in their Brooklyn studio (complete with a live audience of about 100 people), bouncing audio and video streams of the performance of their brazilian web-server, to be accessible to a remote audience. Important here is the fact that Fakeshop trys to incorporate the physical location alongside the digital location. A viewer could be in Sau Paulo, St. Petersburg, Anchorage, or sitting in the audience in Brooklyn, perhaps even participating in the performance.
If you visit Fakeshop right now (Sept 1, '05) you will find a series of manipulated and interleaved surveillance-like photographs, which are the end-result of the project for remote viewers. By navigating beyond these images, the user finds a photograph of the physical location, a chair endowed with web-cams, surrounded by shower-curtains. Suddenly the images cease being separate ideas, and merge to become captured moments in a performative experience.
