‘Scan, You Feel Me?’ is an
interactive installation about the relationship between man and machine. The
installation calls for your attention with its light pattern, mechanical sounds
and restless movements. As soon as you stand at a minimal distance, it seems as
if the machine requires physical contact. You may feel uncomfortable at first
and turn around quickly or you might be curious and engage in a collaboration.
What does this say about your relationship with technology?
The participant can influence the
movement of the LED-bar and the visualization on the screen. What follows is a
interaction between man and machine that some will experience as a frustrating
fight for power and others as a peaceful collaboration. The response from both
man and machine is unpredictable; there are certain patterns and rhythms, but
the outcome will always differ.
