An interactive installation in public swimming pools, 2008
Interface Cultures
Everybody needs his personal space, but social contacts and closeness to others as well. Therefore it is necessary to emit parts of our own space. We want to interpret this continuous pulsating conflict. It was our aim to convert a public swimming pool into an interface for swimmers. We realized the project for the first time in an old swimming pool in Halle/Saale, Germany in March 2008 where we projected an image onto the ceiling that reacted to the swimmers in the water. Depending on the movements of the swimmers digital interactive images were processed and a harmonica sound was created under water and in the air. At Ars Electronica 2008 the project will be shown at the Holmes Place Health Club swimming pool.
