Resonance of 4

Interactive audio visual installation

1994


Resonance of 4 is an interactive audio-visual installation which 
allows four people to create one musical composition in cooperation 
with each other. In this installation, four players are given different 
tones with which they can compose their own melodies. Each person uses 
a mouse to place dots on four grid images projected onto the floor. 
My hope is that each player listens to the melodies which are being 
created by the other players, and then tries to change their own 
melody to make better harmony. In this way, the installation will not 
only generate a resonance of sounds, but will create 
a resonance of minds between the four players.
