I am getting close to the end of the project (deadline 11th of December) and the Installation is starting to get into shape.



Title:
“It’s not here. It is not missing.”



It is an audiovisual interactive installation exploring the negative space of perceived reality, seeking to sensitize visitors to the subtracted parts of thee whole.



I use projectors as light sources, and LDRs (light dependent resistors) as sensors. Parts of the soundtrack are connected to the different LDRs, so that when a visitor block out the light source he/she not only masks the visual plane, but also the part of the soundtrack that corresponds to the sensor.



Here is a video of the current version:

It’s not here _Prototype_031109 from Kjetil Austvoll-Dahlgren on Vimeo.



The music is by Sindre Husebø of Frequencies of the Cosmic Omni and Braving the Glacier.



Features under developement:

• States_ The installation will have different states (audio, visual and behavioral) that it cycles through. The different states will be triggered by things like degree of activity and time.
• Visuals_ The round spots in the current version will be replaced by more appropriate graphics, a visual representation of the sound.
• Space_ The installation will be spread over at least two walls, allowing for crossing beams of light and enhanced experience.
