INSIDEOUT VOL.II [2011]

"Sometimes you meet a project that just has something inexplicable about it. Something that excites curiosity, and gives a desire to feel and explore. The feeling that it opens up. InsideOut Vol. II has it - that inexplicable thing. The twitch. InsideOut Vol. II possesses a good calm as well as many layers to explore, and one senses that a great effort has been put into the expression." The jury's statement of the winner project of Platform4 Award 2011.

InsideOut vol. II is a re-designed presentation of the previously realized real-time bio feedback performance InsideOut.
This new work is more an experimental user experience design – though still includes performative elements, as it demands active participation of the users.
InsideOut vol. II focuses on human data transmissions, which is understood as the activity that takes place in the body, including the heartbeat. In this way waves are created, which under normal circumstances are not to be seen – only with some electronic measurement instruments (e.g. medical equipment). These data are processed into visual and acoustic landscapes.
The user is introduced to a platform that is able to make her/him sense the internal transmissions with other senses than usual, since the transmissions are expressed audiovisually and fill the room with a certain intimacy. Thus it is illustrated how one's inner conditions are affected and disturbed by the outside and inside and what it does to our perception of our surroundings, as well as our own individual body- and self-consciousness. Simultaneously some new ways of sensing arises at the user – something close to the very intimate and probably surprising. Getting to know the signals of our own bodies and present mental state is crucial e.g. according to various aspects in social interaction. InsideOut vol. II takes a risk and calls for a conversation with yourself – where simply being and sensing can be a totally new experience.

Applied technology in InsideOut vol. II
The user is exposed to an intimate bed-room everyday situation where by means of a pulse sensory system and a DIY e-textile bend/flex sensor invisible data is caught and processed (in the software Arduino and Max/MSP).

PERCEPTUAL ECOLOGIES - SYMPHONY [2011]

Two of Northern Jutland's young creative studios are collaborating on shaping experimenting musical experiences leading up to the opening of Musikkens Hus (The House of Music) in 2012/2013. Tonometer Music and architectural company Electrotexture Lab are challenging a cross-disciplinary borderland, where space, music and scenography have melted together in an experimenting environment.
Through the recent six months they have developed new computer controlled music notation systems and mediated sound-, light- and spatial experiences. The result is Perceptual Ecologies: Symphony; an interactive music-installation that experiments by creating living relations between humans, instruments and the physical environment.

Fase one: January - July 2011. Exhibition at Platform4, Aalborg July 29-31.

Supported by Det Obelske Familiefond, MusikIdé

PERCEPTUAL ECOLOGIES - MINES [2010]

The international art festival PORT 20:10 has commissioned the experimental project Perceptual Ecologies.

Perceptual Ecologies is a study of human behavior in interdependent environments. Can space mobilize group behavior that goes beyond the border of friendship or family. The installation couple two concepts: The one of immediate sensory experience and the one of “living relations” and spatial dependencies

Exhibition: Thingbæk Kalkminer, Denmark. October - November 2010

A collective studio: Electrotexture Lab, Tonometer Music & Overtone Labs

Supported by the Danish Arts Council

INSIDEOUT [2010]

InsideOut is a real-time multimedia performance/installation based on elementary phenomenological studies where re-acting bodies are playing together. In this live art installation the performing body will be the focal point of the a re-active environment where waves formed by the physical and psychological (furthermore the social) body will be transmitted to be the main material for an experimental play with sounds and visual elements.
