Tools, techniques, and systems deployed for novel interactions between humans across a variety of communication channels will be discussed. Tele-presence, tele-embodiment, tele-obliteration, and tele-crime: the new forms of human contact and expression. How will they be designed? What benefits will they provide? What new social conventions and metaphors will emerge from these physical artifacts? Finally, how can artists and scientists work together on addressing the ethics and consequences of our technological environment?
