Sensual distraction created of glass tubes ,sound,video and custom software. Maria Koshenkova (RU) – glass-object Richard Deutsch (A) – sound, interactive environment Christian Vogel (A) – software Room transformed into a musical instrument, which can be played just by movements.
The sounds are triggered by the movements of the visitors. Each sound-zone has a different sound. Fragile glass wall which ready to dissolve and fall apart every minute gives a sensual feeling of being destroyed with out actual destruction only visually and in sound it produces.
The glass object is the most unstable part of this installation but the only one which stay untouched at the end. Wall, or rather ‘anti wall built of very fragile glass straws and tubes instead of solid bricks. (the structure close to the nest having geometric shape of the block.)
Similar to a natural biological structure , the glass wall is constructed from larger and richer in tone modules, gradually turning into a thin and transparent parts as if dissolving into space. Glass details, crossing and passing light create an expressive and graphical shadow which also an essential element of the installation.. Viewer is welcome to move around the object touch explore and play with it, but must be aware that sharp glass pieces can cat and damage and some parts can brake, which is part of the plane.
