BY THE TRANSMUTE COLLECTIVE
Intimate Transactions is a new form of interactive installation that allows two people in geographically separate spaces to interact simultaneously using only their bodies. As this highly immersive experience evolves, each person begins to sense their place in a complex web of relations that connects them and everything else within the work.
Each participant uses a physical interface called a ‘Bodyshelf’. By gently moving their bodies on this ‘smart furniture’, they instigate ‘intimate transactions’, which influence an evolving ‘world’ created from digital imagery, multichannel sound and tactile feedback.
This shared experience allows each participant to gradually develop a form of sensory intimacy with the other, despite the fact that they are geographically separated and cannot physically see or hear each other.

The research and development history behind Intimate Transactions is featured in a 136pp colour book and DVD, Intimate Transactions: Art, Exhibition and Interaction Within Distributed Networked Environments, edited by Jillian Hamilton and available from the 'For Sale' section of www.embodiedmedia.com

The GEO Project education kit, specially written by educator Brendan Lea, caters for upper primary and lower secondary school students. The education sheets are designed for student-centred learning. Teacher Notes have been developed to assist teachers to plan educational activities in conjunction with the GEO exhibitions.
