Memory Project - tech art installation

Got rather interested in an installation that was set up in London a few days ago, on South Bank. Basically it was a dome with cameras all around it, facing outwards, taking panoramic pictures every minute - for two days. The pictures all got stored, and can be accessed either through the web, or from inside the dome. And this was why I got interested: the screens inside the dome show what was on the other side (as they're hanged on walls), just back in time. the true catch: the closer you move towards the screen, the farther the captured memory recedes. Make a step and you see sunset. I thought that was quite fascinating, and looking forwards to seeing it: it will make an appearance in Edinburgh (25-27.04) and Liverpool (3-5.05). I will get a chance to see it in Edinburgh, and as it will be place at the Mound, hopefully the pictures will be alrite (if not for the weather). here's a link to a youtube vid that I saw before I knew anything about it: click
