The telematic, collaborative installation ‘FAÇADE’ took place in October 2004 at Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia. Images of the SBS/ACMI façade at Federation Square were projected onto the building itself and aligned to match the actual facade, except that the projected image was altered in colour. The public determined what colours and design were projected through a java web interface, with an image of the façade with basic tools for ‘painting’, allowing a participant anywhere in the world with access to the internet to determine what will be projected. The individual designs submitted by the participants were scheduled and played out over an evening, during the actual staging of the physical component of the event, allowing local participants to view the event on site, whilst those not able to physically attend were able to see the projections through a web cast of the event.
