Distant Feeler

Goliatus & Carabida (1977-1997)

The Distant Feeler was a contraption created by the artist duo Goliatus & Carabida. It was the result of their attempt at creating a telepathic cinema; a project they worked on from 1977 to 1997. What is left of their project are the remnants of a device they called “Distant Feeler” and a manifesto with the title “Distant Feelings or signs of a perfect lover”. From these remnants, which we were fortunate to find, we’ve created our own version of the device. However, we cannot claim that it is a true replica of the original. We tried to reconstruct the machine but much of what we found was broken or had no discernible use. Luckily, the slides were in reasonably good shape.
