"Implication of telepre I think true high resolution telepresence will have a huge impact on urban planning. The distance between the central business district and residential area will grow. It may grow further and further away to the degree where those are separated in worldwide scale. Majority of population will live in a country with nice weather and environment, and rest countries will be used as commercial and business districts.
high resolution esense" If this happens, the traditional idea of nationality will fade away. The nationalities of individuals will not be determined by the location of birth. Rather, individuals will get to choose their nationalities based on their belief and values towards law system. Individuals’ life will be fragmented into many different versions. Each telepresence entity will live different themed life. Having multiple families might be widespread.

Week 7
Earlier idea I had about telepresence was about blurred borders of nations.
The idea of traditional nations will fade, and individuals’ life will be fragmented. The city planning will change drastically since there will no longer be the limit caused by transportations. Most of human population will live in the single residential area, and other regions will be business and industrial district.

Emotions serve us as a set of shortcut triggers of timely actions. We do not comtemplate on our next action when we encounter a poisonous snake. This algorithm is embedded in our mind in a way that it bypasses logical second thoughts. That trait helped our distant ancestors survive and reproduce. But in modern days, emotions are often considered as something that hinderes proper decision making. We witness people's emotional systems malfunctioning leading to catastrophic consequences. It seems like evolution is having a hard time keeping up with rapidly changing environments. This raises questions about the impact of telepresent experience on a person's emotional system. The person will constantly be exposed to countless multicontextual emotional triggers
being a telepresent entity. Do we need to set a standardized training system to guarantee telepresent "pilots" to travel safe? In this context, the interactive art project visualizes the emotional aspect of telepresent experience. As a person makes sounds, the emojis fall down from the sky like raindrops. The amount of raindrops corresponds to the amplitude of sounds. This simulates how an action of telepresent entity induces multiple emotional triggers while non-telepresent action normally causes single emotion. As the viewer walks in the suffocating amount of emoji rains, they may contemplate on the future of their mental state.
