Gastarbyter

A mechanical and electronic interface producing a multi-modal experience; linking audible and sub-sonic sound, physical vibration and a responsive mercury and neon lighting system.

The chair interface was originally developed in collaboration with design and fabrication outfit JUGGERNAUT and No.1 Electronics, London. The installation used audio equipment from Jonty Harrison’s BEAST sound system. A collaboration between Bruce Gilchrist, Jo Joelson and NZ based electro-acoustic composer, Dugal McKinnon. An ICA Digital Live Art Commission funded by Arts Council England.
