Echoes Installation
18th April 2017
Sci-Fi Festival Munich, Einstein Kultur Zentrum
an audio-Visual Installation
Science Fiction Festival, 2017. Munich
Air becomes sound, sound becomes light,
lights becomes matter, matter becomes motion,
motion becomes sound, and sound becomes
light again. In a Loop.
Interactive audio visual installation
Some Designers are developing their way of being, acting and creating; our footprint is taking shape, expanding and addressing the concept of transformation and processing changes.
For instance, one of our focus point lays in the generational shift from Analog to Digital.
What we point out is the new human perspective in history of classic analog media communication (sound, images), integrated into technologies.
Connections, which blending in the same environment at the same time, channel and convey stories: that’s what intrigues us!
Building bridges among contents, revealing the nature and the simplicity behind it.
For the science fiction festival, we invented an environment which “absorbs” the sound from the audience.
The elements will light up when the audience produces sound, which then will be redirected inside the “Ball elements”, once these are full (which will be indicated with color and intensity) the audience can then trigger by touching them physically.
Big size ball for low frequencies, medium size ball for medium frequencies, small size ball for low frequencies.
At this point starts the second part of the interaction: reproduce and process the sound which was captured into the balloons.
By moving and rotating the ball, the sound stored “inside” will be released and processed
continuously with the speed and the direction of the motion applied by the audience.
In this second stage the light environment will take part as well, the 27 dmx light spots hanging from the sealing will light on and off, based on the structure of the processed sound applied by the audience, even when all of the balls “move” simultaneously.
In this installation, during the context of the science fiction festival, we wanted to present an interactive environment which can be interpreted as a new planet with atmospheric rules and no inhabitants (at least, so it seems to be), if you compare with our planet. Our intention was to present the audience as the alien and co-actor in the deployment of this newly discovered planet history.
Inviting to experience an alternative environment, using all attention and skills to perform and act, in order to wake it up, and discover its nature.
