Abstract

The video window is a video screen hanging next to a window on my bedroom wall, showing the image from a camera mounted to show the skyline from outside that same window. In this paper, I describe the appeal of living with such a system, and the intermingled aesthetic, utilitarian and practical issues involved in its creation and the experience it offers.
