The live component of the piece was realised on November l l, 1997, in the context of the exhibition 'Arte Suporte Computador', at the cultural centre Casa da Rosas, in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

'Time Capsule' was carried live on the evening newscast of the TV station Canal 21 and on tape by two other TV stations (TV Manchete and TV Cnltura). The webscast was transmitted by Casa das Rosas.
The object that gives the piece its title is a microchip that contains a programmed identification number and that is integrated with a coil and a capacitor, all hermetically sealed in biocompatible glass. The temporal scale of the work is stretched between the ephemeral and the permanent; i.e., between the few minutes necessary for the completion of the basic procedure, the microchip implantation, and the permanent character of the implant. As with other underground time capsules, it is under the skin that this digital time capsule projects itself into the future.

The P r o c e d u r e W h e n the public w a l k e d into the gallery where this w o r k took place, what they saw was a m e d i c a l professional, seven sepia-toned p h o t o g r a p h s shot in Eastern Europe in the m i d 1930s (family m e m e n t o s see Fig. 4), a horizontal b e d s t e a d surrounded b y an on-line computer, a telerobotic finger connected to the m i c r o c h i p scanner, and additional b r o a d c a s t i n g equipment. I started (and concluded) the basic p r o c e d u r e by washing the skin of m y left ankle with an antiseptic and using a special needle to insert subcutaneously the passive microchip, which is in fact a t r a n s p o n d e r with noTime Capsule245power supply to replace or moving parts to wear out. Scanning the implant from Chicago generated a low energy radio signal (125 KHz) that energised the microchip to transmit its unique and inalterable numerical code, which was shown on the scanner's 16-character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Immediately after this data was obtained I registered myself via the Web in a remote database located in the United States (see Figs 5 and 6).
This is the first instance of a human being added to the database, since this registry was originally designed for identification and recovery of lost animals. I registered myself both as animal and owner under my own name.
After implantation a small layer of connective tissue started to form around the microchip, preventing migration.2. Memory and Information Not coincidentally, documentation and identification have been one of the main thrusts of technological development, particularly in the area of imaging, from the first photograph to ubiquitous video surveillance. Throughout the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries photography and its adjacent imaging tools functioned as a social time capsule, enabling the collective preservation of memory of our social bodies. At the end of the twentieth century, however, we witness a global inflationFig. 4, Oneofsevensepia-tonedphotographs-familymementos-shotin EasternEurope in the 1930'sthatare part of 'Time Capsule.'

Today we can no longer trust the representational nature of the image as the key agent in the preservation of social or personal memory and identity. The present condition allows us to change the configuration of our skin through plastic surgery as easily as we can manipulate the representation of our skin through digital imaging, so that we can now embody the image of ourselves that we desire to become. With the ability to change flesh and image also comes the possibility of erasure of their memory. Memory today is on a chip.
As we call 'memory' the storage units of computers and robots, we antropomorphise our machines, making them look a little bit more like us. In the process, we mimic them as well. The body is traditionally seen as the sacred repository of human-only memories, acquired as the result of genetic inheritance or personal experiences. Memory chips are found inside computers and robots and not inside the human body yet. In 'Time Capsule', the presence of the chip (with its recorded retrievable data) inside the body forces us to consider the co-presence of lived memories and artificial memories within us. External memories become implants in the body, anticipating future instances in which events of this sort might become common practice and inquiring about the legitimacy and ethical implications of such procedures in the digital culture. Live transmissions on television and on the Web bring the issue closer to our living rooms.
Scanning of the implant remotely248E. Kacvia the Web reveals how the connective tissue of the global digital network renders obsolete the skin as a protective boundary demarcating the limits of the body.2.1 Incorporating Biotechnology To consider some of these questions, we need only to look closer at the present, not the future. If one's unique signature is in the genetic code, in order to leave an undeniable authentic mark one doesn't need to sign his or her name in blood. A special pen containing ink infused with one's own DNA, which is currently available to fight counterfeiting, is all that is needed.

Radar tracking, or the use of tagging and tracking technology to monitor at a distance the position and behaviour of animals as small as a butterfly and as large as a whale, is also a case in point. The emergence of biometrics, with its conversion of irrepeatable personal traits - such as iris patterns and fingerprint contours - into digital data, is a clear sign that the closer technology gets to the body the more it tends to permeate it. The current successful use of microchips in spinal injury surgery already opens up an unprecedented area of inquiry, in which bodily functions are stimulated externally and controlled via microchips. Experimental medical research towards the creation of artificial retinas, using microchips in the eye to enable the blind to see, for example, forces us to accept the liberating effects of intrabody microchips.
