interactive architecture

"House where sound live"

refers to living and the bodily movements that accompany habit and habitation

architectural environment and interactive sound installation

generating new sound patterns by sensors picking up actual movements of visitors

The artwork’s role is for strengtening the identity of the area, not only as a tehnological statement but also as a social space where people can organize informal meetings, relax during lunch hours or just enjoy its beauty.

carefully choreographed set of movements of bodies, limbs and hands (on three scales) that are inscribed on paper bands as cuts (an uncut area corresponds with bodily movement, first cut through the middle corresponds with limbs, finer cuts corresponds with hands and feet)

pre-informed paper bands stapled together and the curves directly follow from that.

what we have then is an arabesque of complex intertwining lines.

twenty three sensors are positioned at strategic spots to indirectly influence the music.

the landscape itself that generates the sounds

the score is an evolutionary memory scape that develops with the traced behaviour of the actual bodies of the space.
