Parallel Ports was a site specific project hosting a dialogue in video, between two people, in two different places. Point of departure was our physical separation from each other, juxtaposed against more general issues of displacement and long distance communication.

The first two locations that have been connected by the site are Puerto Rico and Rotterdam. During a period of two weeks, low-resolution videos were uploaded to the website, in reaction to what had already been uploaded by the other person. In the meantime, Parallel Ports was simultaneously presented at the PR ’04 biennial in Puerto Rico and in TENT. Center for visual art in Rotterdam.
