Exploring The Body:
Interactive/Installation Element
The audience will first enter an antechamber, containing a long table surrounded by a curtain. On the table will be a mock cadaver made from carved-up pieces of vinyl record. There will be two listening stations (headphones and stylus cartridges) with which audience members can investigate the body. The resultant audio output will be sent to a Max patch, which will perform signal glitching/degradation before outputting to a small PA. The signal degradation (Max) will be affected by a spherical Arduino controller, containing Light Dependent Resistors, placed in another part of the room. This room will be an reactive/interactive installation.
