humanaquarium's photostream  

humanaquarium (2009) Robyn Taylor / Guy Schofield / John Shearer -- humanaquarium features a large cube, big enough to contain two musicians. The cube was chosen as a carefully neutral but mysterious object designed to entice the viewer to look inside. The front face is a perspex window, through which the performers can be seen, illuminated by the light of a video projector. FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) technology is used to detect the position of audience members' hands on the window and this data is translated to directly change the output of the performers' instruments, changing timbre, instrumentation and vocal effects.
