Abstract
In this Internet project, Shu Lea Cheang transfers electronic baggage inspections at the airport to a virtual baggage inspection on the Internet. Carry on allows the Internet user - the inspector - to look inside the passangers' luggage and thus inspect the private sphere of unknown suitcase owners. But in so doing the user-inspector is not unobserved, since Carry on goes further than isolated access to information in Internet. Carry on is a place in which several users can simultaneously follow the inspector's actions. The area between the private and the public domain touched upon by the inspection is therefore realised as an experience space for the Internet visitor.
