Shane Cooper is a visual effects software developer, and an installation artist specializing in Internet and interactive art.
His work 'Remote Control' was made part of the permanent exhibition at The ZKM - Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
In Cooper’s 1999 art installation Remote Control, a television displays an anchorman that looks and sounds real, yet is completely computer-generated.
Feed (2006) and Life Support (2009) both examine ways in which art literally survives according human presence.
The bots learn new conversations from the humans that come into the room, which is another example of Cooper's recurring theme of the viewer leaving an impression on the artwork itself.
