Sky Brought Down
Åsa Stjerna (SE)
Åsa Stjerna’s site-specific work was developed as a permanent sound installation for the University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Even though it doesn’t demand a great deal of attention of its audience, Sky Brought Down generously soothes and helps balance the hospital sounds, without disturbing the fragile balance of an everyday work space. A weather station on the roof of the hospital forwards weather data in real time to the sound installation.
SHE BON
Sarah Petkus (US)
The SHE BON project is a collection of body augments which sense aspects of the wearer’s physical state in order to communicate sexual arousal. Collectively, the systems that have been developed for this project make up a highly personalized “suit of amour” capable of orchestrating sensor input from the body in order to display mechanical and electronic forms of performative output which express subtle aspects of the wearer’s physical state in a manner that characterizes their sexual identity.
