The freedom of choice

The interactive sculpture tackles the question of surrogate religion. At what point does a brand, a product or a medium, such as for example the Internet or the belief in it, acquire attributes similar to those of a religion?

Customers of the Apple brand are fondly described as “Apple boys”. The most important protagonists of a certain branch of technology usually call themselves “Evangelists”.

The freedom of choice expects us to choose: rather a religion that you know, one that you would eventually get to know, or one that more or less conforms to reality.

(How) do you remember snow?

“(How) Do you remember snow” is about how I remember snow.

“Do you remember snow” is about recycling materials used in media.

The sculpture is made of MC cases. 4 of these cases hold image foil prints with a paper background. The prints can be exchanged.

A ultrasonic sensor tracks the distance of the viewer to the sculpture and brings up LEDs behind the MC cases while the viewer comes closer to the sculpture. Once the viewer is very close all LEDs are up and the viewer can see all 4 images.

The sculpture is a kind of photo frame which only uses up power when someone really views it.

This aint Manhattan

The interactive sculpture “This aint Manhattan” is a 3 layer tower made out of MC cases. Each layer reflects a value represented by symbols: religion, money or work. 3 ultrasonic sensors arranged around the sculpture measure the distance between viewer and object. Each sensor is connected to one of the layers. If the measured distance reaches a certain point the corresponding layer lights up.
