Interactive Art Installation
c. 2003
This was part of another persons installation.
The installation was part of a group of installations for a conference on communication and technology. I was designated a room that I filled with wires and telephone cords. The cords were everywhere, hanging from the ceiling, all about the floor. The viewer (or participant) could not pass through the room with out touching/interacting with the piece. Touching and interacting with an art piece was still an uncommon concept since so many of us have imbedded in our heads that art is meant to be seen and not to be touched. The piece also had several telephone receivers hanging from the ceiling. If the participant would put one up to their ear the would have heard an audio track.
I wrote a program in Max MSP to cue specific audio sounds when certain wires were tripped. I haven't touched the program since, but would not be opposed to revisiting this concept. I find that as we are all becoming more wireless and the traditional phone is becoming obsolete many of us are becoming better and more connected.
