*Live Video Delay: imagine watching live video footage of yourself, but which is constantly a second or two behind the present. The effect is that the audience see a delayed reflection of themselves. Some see this as an opportunity for play; some find their doppelgänger disturbing. Its primary function is to create a dissociated image of yourself, and the uncanny feeling of watching yourself at a distance.
