KlangKarusell / 02.09. - 14.09.2003

Kunsthaus Basel-Land, Muttenz

KlangKarusell has been created for the competiton "Interaktive Medien". SONOgames was invited to this competition of the Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt. This installation was a prototyp or sketch for the following installation Klang_Insel. We won the competition. Mainidea of this installation was to construct a sensor-network. For example we put lightbarriers on the edge of stairs. people triggered sounds by moving. In the bathroom we put watersensitiv sensors so people triggered sounds by washing their hands. On the roof of the building was a thermometer and a selfbuilded devices to measure the strength of the wind. A mikrophon was focused into the audienceroom. The Data of our weatherstation and the audiosignal of the mikrophone were also used to trigger and modulat soundfiles. For the first time we showed one of our soundbooks and our first reaktive toypet.

The windsail. Wind pushes back the sail and triggers a switch. Unfortunately it did not survive the first thunderstorm.

Our first version of an interaktiv soundbook.
