Edia is a real-time narrated media presentation by Willy Le Maitre displayed in stereographic format.

Edia is an entity that distributes the self in a constellation of points around the globe. The points are personified by 'friends' in dialog. From it's perspective on the surface, Edia imagines and discusses what is inside and outside of it. The entity's interconnected points can fluidly scale to encompass vast dimensions in time and space. Edia's molecular constitution is bonded by audiovisual channels that are both it's memory and links to the possible in sequences of event. It's amalgamations of inter subjective perspective visualize reality as an artifact of communication.
