Wolfgang Spahn, Thomas Gerwin » Location: ESC im LABOR
This interactive sound-light-installation was built in cooperation with the composer and sound artist Thomas Gerwin and the media artist Wolfgang Spahn. It is considered as an instrument to generate and play sounds and liquid colors.
Three, especially designed and developed projectors are filled with a mixture of colored liquids and Ferro-Fluid. In each projector these liquids can be activated and simulated with 4 magnetic coils.
Opposite the projectors stands a Midi-Drum-Pad. The visitors can play on it. A Pure Data Patch generates sounds. And with three controllers it also triggers the magnetic coils (depending on note and dynamics of the drum pad). Each of the three pads stands for one of the three RGB colors, the other four pads stands for four directions: above, below, to the left and to the right. If you hit one of the pads, the according liquids in the projectors will react. Between the projectors and the drum pad hangs a pane of glass with a round projection screen. On that screen the three monochrome projections will be mixed to one full colour projection.

The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
