INFRASTRUCTURE II
choose miss create - an interactive installation
INFRASTRUCTURE II is an interactive installation that invites its audience to create a personal piece of sound art. It is about missed chances, silenced voices and the magic of creation.
There are 13 loudspeakers and 13 cables, each cables is connected to one speaker. All of them have a different audiostream. The sounds comes originally from the arduino micro controller and a hacked toy sampler. You have to plug the cable into the jacks on the patch bay to create your own sound. There are only 8 jacks so there is always going to be unheard sounds. You have to choose and you will always miss something. But when you choose, you will always create something.
With the installation I want to investigate how we deal with the knowledge that there is so much going on around us that we don't have access to just because there isn't enough time, room, interest, will or whatever reason. I'm also interested in how the audience will interact with this interface. It's a very simple interface but the sonic capabilities is almost endless. How do the audience react to the sounds and how do they approach the interface.
