Teleport Diner – From Real to Virtual to Somewhere in Between. Diner online.
12 May 2000
Fifth anniversary
Färgfabriken with multiple locations
Architect: Andreas Angelidakis
Food, bar and entertainment, live & linked. A diner in Williamsburg is transported to Färgfabriken in Stockholm, via internet.
Creating meetings of various kinds is one of Färgfabriken’s hallmarks. Therefore, it was obvious that the fifth anniversary should be celebrated with the Teleport Diner. New York comes to Stockholm and Färgfabriken becomes a diner, performance and party – real and virtual. Everyone met via the Chelsea site on activeworlds.com. A bar in Williamsburg, New York was moved via the internet to Färgfabriken and 25 people were flown over for a day-long party with Stockholm. Via webcams, the cities were linked together and the event spread like wildfire around the world.
