I've been laughing at this for the last couple of hours, but actually I can't really make head or tail of how it works.
1. Does the analysand put a webcam at the top of her couch at home facing her feet (which is the image she would normally see when lying on the couch, but is not what the analyst would normally see from his position behind the couch - and after all this is the image that will be transmitted to him and that he will see and work with on his computer screen), or does the analysand place the webcam facing where the analyst would normally sit (so that he would see himself, but actually not, because there would be no-one irl behind the couch in the analysand's home).
2. Would the analyst place his webcam on the end of the couch facing himself, so that the analysand sees his image on her screen (and that is surely wrong), or would he turn it towards the empty couch (and she would then have the most disconcerting sensation of not being there at all)?
Please let me know. I am very amused and curious.
