Introduction

Vicinity and distance have been presented as increasingly important factors since the pandemic invaded our lifes. The safe and personal space and its inherent vulnarability and fragility in bigger groups has been an inspiration for the spatial interaction between the artwork and the participants.

interFREQUENCIES aims to create an interactive art installation that enables a visual conversation between an artwork and a person. In collaboration with the Munich-based artist, Tatjana Busch, a resonance space with a responsive sensor system was developed. This system expands the emotional perception of her artworks by creating a perception loop, where sensors and the human body constantly react to each other in relation to distance, allowing visitors to influence the flow of the exhibition.

The original installation „Frequencies“ by the artist, Tatjana Busch, plays and communicates. It moves between the objective, the physically determined and the personal perception of the viewer, the world of the emotional, the irrational, the mystical. In this process, objects are created that change their role from 3-dimensional sculpture to light - reflector, generating reflective meandering light spaces, attended with immersive sound, composed by Christian Losert. The color frequencies are translated into sounds : One could say, how does red sound? What does 480 tetra hertz sound like? What does it do to me?

We attach to her work by creating a communicative space around her artwork by using sensors and automised variability in lightintensity, -frequency and sound.

Distance and approach have become the language of the participant while the artwork expresses itself through in- and decreasing audio-visual spatial immersion. Vulnarability and fragility is in this communication the topic of conversation.
