Resonance - 2007

 

“Resonance” is an interactive installation that defines a relationship between the viewer/ participant and the vibrational forces that are prevalent in nature. This artwork creates an intimate dialogue between the participant and the installation. This dialogue examines the idea of identity, which traditionally categorizes people as autonomous fragments, functioning independently of a whole unit. We are doctors or lawyers, students or teachers, homeless or wealthy, weak or strong, and the list goes on infinitely. This piece, however, speaks to a singular identity. An identity not defined by individual emotions or observable idiosyncrasies, but as a dynamic segment of a universal network of connections taking place on a quantum scale.

This interactive sculpture emits an ambient low-frequency hum from a small bowl of water on a pedestal. The viewer interacts by placing their hand over the water's surface. The electronics in the piece judge the viewer's distance from the water. As their hand moves closer the surface of the water it will ripple and pattern. The bowl is lit from within the piece and the interaction is projected onto the wall behind the sculpture.
