Audio Groove.Interactive light and sound installation. Spiral/Wacoal Art Center, Tokyo. 1997.
Concept: Christian Moeller, Lighting: Nathan Thompson, Sound: Ludger Bruemmer, Sensor electronics: Wolfgang Schemmert, Sound technology: Willi Bopp
The installation consists of a circular wooden platform 12 metres in diameter, on which 56 vertical steel posts extend 5.5 metres up toward the ceiling. Each of the steel posts is connected to a touch-sensitive sensor system. This forest of vertical steel posts is an interface through which light and sound can be physically experienced and controlled. Visitors touching the posts can evoke a soundscape which always results in a harmonic whole whatever the conceivable combination of interactions. To accomplish this, the acoustical structures were perfected within a physical modeling system. The visual component of the installation is a lush, composable texture of light and shadows. Spotlights placed in a circle around the installation project through the structure of steel posts onto the floor of the installation. According to the visitors� interaction with the poles, the spotlights illuminate different positions on the floor and draw shadow line textures onto the installation's "carpet of light".
