[Anyone interested in telepresence should watch the short (3:28 minute) video “The Revered Gaze,” which explores the history of our use of technology to create immersive and inspiring experiences. It’s the latest (December 4, 2014) installment of Shots of Awe, a web series in which host Jason Silva “freestyles his way into the complex systems of society, technology and human existence and discusses the truth and beauty of science in a form of existential jazz.” Note also the link to Alison Griffiths’ 2008 book Shivers Down Your Spine: Cinema, Museums, and the Immersive View.
