I am Sound, in the Digital Synesthesia exhibit, Angewandte Innovation Lab, Vienna, Austria 2016

 

A dark room. A pool of light, with a camera and microphone.
A curtain of 12 metal plates hangs from the ceiling - the metallophone.
The room is a musical instrument, and you are the actuator.

You enter the light. Your face appears huge, fractured into a cubist portrait on the metallophone.

A soft, shimmering sound fills the room - your face, transformed into a personal, minimalist music composition, plays on the metallophone. Green lines scan your face. The music changes, and the the mosaic of your face shimmers with the vibrations of the plates .

But quiet!. If you speak too loudly, your face fractures into a thousands pixels.

You become image. You become sound.
