concept installation master exhibition / interactivity part
                                                                       
                      ( Einsteinufer Berlin, emphasis on Sound parts )
                                                                                                ( Aeaeniaalto Helsinki, emphasis on Visual parts )

means :   exhibition space / Arduino / wires / performer / yoga mattress           ( or any other ) / super simple Pure Data skeleton / performer
          and some things I forgot to mention now


idea :      ( the space was supposed to be "the canvas" )

               performer lying there, seemingly sleeping, wearing black                  "neutral" clothes ( cotton, certified organic )

               one hand is having wires ( actual small cables ) that                    connect the hand from the thumb to the other fingers
               
durational :      via a "button wiring" the circuit closes 4 different                     sound patterns coming                                                     from a computer, they also make an organic algorhythm                     of Sound "texture"
                          ( waves, feathers, the other 2 I forgot )

interactivity :  when a visitor comes in, the signal makes the sound                      change and the performer is dressed in different Sonic                    clothes depending on the visitor, the performer can hide                  behind different Sonic imaginations ( performing is also                  about shyness, yes )

                 The performer is therefore some kind of interface                        between "the technology" and "the visitor", with freedom                  of choosing through the energy which comes in with the                    visitor which sound to be layered onto the installed                      body ( that sounds weird, it's not in Fine Art, most                      musicians do it, kind of on free will or not ).

over time gimmick : in the memory of visitors, different versions are                         evoked 

variations:        by having a Pure Data skeleton, one can attach                            different Sound samples and to a certain                                  extent randomised Sound patterns, the samples might be                    recorded or created manually or digitally to "mimic"                      it and give the Sonic "illusion" of a bird / cat /                        wolf

( wiring also to the vintage TV would enable the possibility to layer a visual depiction of the performer with visual "effects" )



concept backpack :for "going swimming" â€‹

when one travels around with a computer and the occasion comes up to bath in a river / lake, the backpack in the shape of a sleeping bear with the computer can just be put into a tree.
 
most people passing by think it is a bear and probably bites.
 
knowledgable biologists have a laugh about how unlikely a bear is there.

Ideally, they leave your backpack where it is.
