installation 

 

Currents is one of several interactive audiovisual installations that explores the environment of Newfoundland. Emerging from a meshwork of materials that includes ocean data-sets, live streamed wind data, a heart rate monitor and audiovisual material captured off the east coast of Newfoundland, Currents combines these expressive actants to explore nonlinear processes within an immersive experience. Using a PulseSensor, all elements of the installation are triggered by a gallery visitor’s heart rate that, in turn, generates a backdrop of animated water droplets. Combined with the sonification of live wind data, ocean data-sets and pre-recorded musical improvisations, a multi-temporal experience is realized.
