The Imaginary Hotel allows visitors to occupy and design their ideal room
and fill it with personal content and inspiration. It will be in the
Chapman Gallery in Salford, Greater Manchester, UK between October 9th and
31st, 2002. The installation architecture resembles a typical hotel room;
yet choosing image, video and sound footage from the net via the room TV
menu, can alter the standard interior and even hotel location.  Internet
participants can interfere by modifying or uploading further material via
the hotel website. They are also able to ring up the gallery visitors via a
specially designed web-telephone interface. A web cam is streaming real
time video from the hotel to the website to document the ongoing changes.
