Fusing Bodies: A Consideration of Techno-Spliced Gestures in Interactive Installations

Author: Nina Waisman
Session: A Space-Time of Ubiquity and Embeddedness/A Sensation of Ubicomp, Art and Culture

In the piece presented in this talk, Nina examines the connection between gestures, bodies and sound. She describes an installation piece in which the body is thought of as a vast system of transducers, actuated by powers in the environments it encounters. The visitor's body becomes a transducer of other bodies' energies. As people move through the piece installed in a museum, they connected sonically to other bodies.
