>CONCEPT
Crossmixing: the art of merging domains.
SMoke and fOG become digital for the seventh time before getting ready for visitors.
>PROJECT
Digital Smog 7 has been built for large spaces.
Mainly a remix of the projects Gargoyle and Unità Zero, it explores acoustical and visual domains through two modules:
- Pole module
- Pad module
>POLE MODULE
Or the audio domain controller. Each pole handles a specific looping audio sample which can be started, stopped and filtered by means of a proximity sensor array where visitors can approach and interact using their hands.
- Upper sensor: the sample is played back
- Middle sensor: a filter is applied to sample, the depth is related to hand proximity
- Lower sensor: the sample is stopped
Each of the five pole modules inject their audio samples in a final mixing stage.
Pole modules have also a local feedback: a stroboscopic light flash. The more the effect depth, the more the frequency of the flash.
>PAD MODULE
Or the video domain controller. Each pad is a pressure trigger which controls video sequencing. This is basically an excerpt of Unità Zero project with no audio control.
>SIMULATION
Sorry, flash is not available.
