The video installation was originally created as a video loop in collaboration of Michal Kindernay and Jan Žalio by connecting video footage from the streets of Chicago and Brno. They were both students of FaVU in Brno, Kindernay was at the time working with the technology of live video and audio streaming over the Internet. Together with Lenka Dolanová they implemented a similar project, in which they visually connected the originally Slavic Chicago neighborhood called Pilsen and the Czech city Pilsen. This is a fragment from originally 30 min. tape.
