In interviews different persons who are located in the area of arts and sciences express their particular point of view with regard to changing terms of reality. Centre point of the search are modifications developed with the help of new technologies considering the prevailing theoretical and/or practical approach. A conceptual reference system was created by excerpts taken from the interview material. Hereby four corresponding video tracks contain parallel layers of visual, auditory and transcribed levels of information. These units are combined without paying attention to their contents, i. e. at first glance, the identification moment remains withheld because the person that is to be heard and the same person whose statement is to be read, is never to be seen at the same time. ""ID_TRANSiT"" functions contrarily to reference systems in the Internet, where a permanent extension is immanent and happens from link to link or from one information level to another information level et cetera. Which means that the complex interview material is compressed to a time-based moment, from which information becomes a link to itself as a ""hyperimage"", ""hypertext"" and ""hypersound"". Further extension will happen through perception processes. Besides the video piece, the conception of the project ""ID_TRANSiT"" also includes a book-letter which contains all interviews and reconnects the statements and context of the interviews.
