01.11.2007 | Interactive Installation Munich
From 8th November onwards, the OSRAM Seven Screens in Munich will show a new staging by ART+COM. “Reactive Sparks” focuses on the movement of passing vehicles.
The OSRAM Seven Screens are located along the green strip of Munich’s Mittlerer Ring, one of Munich and Germany’s most congested roads. Traffic going in and out of the city flows and stops here morning and night. For this location, ART+COM realises a staging concept relating to the traffic flow reactively and in real time.
For “Reactive Sparks”, every passing car is individually tracked and triggers a reaction on the stelae that is clearly comprehensible to both drivers and passers-by. The main topic of the installation is energy. The movement of the passing vehicles is interpreted as a metaphor for life energy, as an expression of activity and lives. People who drive cars move with a goal: they are going on a trip, to work or perhaps to visit a dear friend or relative. This energy finds its metaphorical correlation in the light (“spark”).
The ART+COM installation can be seen until 23th April 2008.
