Public demo by Experientiæ Electricae

Interac wearing is constituted by a serie of costumes that communicate their user's walking rythm. Each constituting part of zigbee mesh network, they are localised relatively one to another in opposition to intrusive localisation, this is an ever reconfiguring network of people and relations performing in physical space.
The costumes feedback sound according to their users walking rythm in a very circular hypnotic circulation. However each personnal sound is corrupted by other people sound diffused according to their distance and relative position, hence reassambling a network of walking people.

During this afternoon of presentation, concluding her residency at iMAL, Natacha Roussel (FR), member of the collective Experientiæ Electricae, invites you to put their communicating suits on, and experience the city in a new sound environment linked to your walking and interaction behaviour.

Besides, the audience at iMAL can assist to a visual and sound composition (Aymeric De Tapol) driven by the wanderings of the participants. This residency is in collaboration with Vincent Roudaut (development).

Attention, it is necessary to book your suit through the online registration form.
