system_481b / follow

In System_481b / follow, which was created for the Cauliflower Sound Festival in the Prospekthof of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in cooperation with the Acousmatic Projects Acousmonium, actors meet in a common organism whose vitality can only be experienced through the interaction of the participants . An abstract carpet of sound surrounds three platforms illuminated from above, on which the smallest amounts of shiny pink mica slate, matt black charcoal and grey-green mushroom spores are presented in large glasses. When visitors approach these platforms, their steps trigger crackling noises in the immediate vicinity and, with a delay, throughout the room. Depending on where the visitors are and in which direction they are moving, the sound will also move. Something seems to react to them, to watch them, to follow them - but always from a safe distance. It is impos- sible to approach the sounds themselves. Likewise, it is not possible to remain unseen. The reaction to your own footsteps seems to spread through the room like wildfire.

Audio recordings from the rainforests were collected over several years and resynthesized and abstracted for the installation. The resulting sound levels are controlled live and automatically in a generative program that is visible as part of the installation. The steps of the visitors* are perceived by 8 contact microphones on the underside of the floor and sent to the program as a trigger and pro- cessed. Following a proprietary algorithm, this then generates a reaction as noise in the room.
