my masters project in trinity, produced in collaboration with fellow students karen curley and vincent dermody.
developed from june to october '99.

it was an interactive installation whose abstract content was spun around an experimental theatrical narrative by heiner mueller.
the piece took the form of a projection and amplification in a darkened enclosed space. interactivity came from a proximity sensor which gauged the interactor's distance from the screen.
the proximity sensor ran into a mac running max, and the data was then fed to a pc running the piece in director which in turn fed into speakers and projector.
each of the nine section reacted differently to the interactor's relationship with the piece, making for a fluid abstract experience.
originally installed in the douglas hyde gallery, the piece had a brief, successful run in arthouse.
