The idea for creating a MIDI interface was inspired by a need to represent the haptic forms of image and sound. The potential of such media lies exactly in the forms that they can be transformed into, so that the monitoring of transformation is of key importance. The device enabling the visitor to participate in the creative process is able to register through sensors the changes in movement, presence and touch. The visitor changes the sonic and visual appearance of the work. Sound and image are presented as variables – the form is never definitely determined and is constantly subjected to change. The viewer enters into this process as an unknown quantity determining the momentary form of the installation. Interaction consists in exploring any possible form through, so to speak, an ‘instrument’ with no previously set rules how to play it.
The basic principle is challenging the traditional concept of the image as a geometrically defined, two-dimensional space as well as the three-dimensional norm of sculpture (as a static object, made of rare, carefully selected and long-lasting materials) with kinetic objects, made with new materials and using new media, which are installed with regard to the dynamics
