Bubbles and Clouds – Illuminated Interactive Inflatables

Kristian Gohlke (DE), Christian Wiegert (DE)

POSTCITY, Campus

Installation – Membranes, Electronics, Air, Light (2019)

Illuminated Interactive Inflatables sind interaktive druckstabilisierte Membranstrukturen („Pneus“), von der Decke abgehängt, von innen dezent beleuchtet. Wenn BesucherInnen durch den Raum, durch Berührung und Zugluft gehen, reagieren die Objekte. Der Versuch, die Objekte zu erklären, schafft einen Dialog aus Licht, Klang und Bewegung. Im Zuge der lockeren Interaktion werden die Besucher Teil einer Performance. Die Grenzen zwischen Betrachter und Performer, Raum und Inhalt beginnen zu driften – Blasen schweben in Wolken.
