Concert for 2 _ interactive video&audio - installation _ 2002

A work for an exhibition entitled 'tangible sound' in the 'total museum' in Seoul. Visitors sensed by a videocamera trigger sounds of traditional korean instruments. There are 2 stations one with drum-sound the other with string-sound, so 2 visitors can try to play music together. Beneath the posssibility to do live improvisation, the installation lets the visitor play back sequences of previously recorded other visitors.

4 buttons let the visitor tell the computer to do 4 different tasks: A - show live image, B - cut & record live image for 1 sec into current 5sec playback sequence, C - play back current 5sec sequence, D - choose randomly another sequence out of previously saved sequences.

After 3 new recordings and idle for 3 minutes the computer saves the current 5sec sequence to disk. The following video was composed out of several over the period of the exhibition saved sequences.

the programming for the installation was done with Max/MSP and the video-plugin Nato0+55.
