Skin Hunger (2020-22)

A Collaboration with Ira Greenberg, Melanie Clemmons (2020-21), and Brent Brimhall

Skin Hunger is a web-based interactive system for telematic installation and performance that plays on the zoom-style video-chat that has become ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants can reach across their screens to virtually ‘touch’ one another.  By touching or moving together, participants create virtual organisms and sounds that emerge and evolve from participant relation and interaction, making the intangible connection tangible and giving it life.  

Participants can experience the web-based browser version of Skin Hunger by going to https://skinhunger.org and sending a link to a friend to join them. The website requires camera and microphone access.

Skin Hunger is a collaborative interactive project realized by Courtney Brown, Brent Brimhall, Ira Greenberg, and Melanie Clemmons (2020-21).
