An installation in public space on the subject of invisible surveillance. By means of a motion tracking system, a spotlight stalks passers-by without it being apparent how the ray of light is being steered. Through a specially developed loudspeaker—the Acoustic Beam Project—personal messages audible only to individuals in the spotlight are whispered in their ear. Via real-time video in the Internet, the user can select any person in the public space and control the spotlight; thus, anonymous individuals intervene in reality.

Marie Sester (F) is living and working in New York City. She began her career as an architect, having earned her master degree in architecture from the École d’Architecture in Strasbourg, France in 1980. Sester has since worked as a media artist exploring the ways that societies implement forms, focusing primarily on the ideas of transparency, visibility, and access. Her interactive installations typically create an immersive experience for the viewer/participant. Marie Sester has exhibited internationally and has taught in France and the United States.
