technology
This project combines various
technologies in order to deepen the real-time interaction-potential between
"person & nature" and between "persons".
To explore the sonic possibilities of these complex (yet, sometimes very
subtle) movements
and their influences on the resulting music.
The development and ways of using these custom sensing methods is an on-going
and accumulative part of our project.
