Description

THE SCREAM
(online interactive video installation).
The picture you get is changing depending on duration and level of sound caught through the microphone connected to PC. The installation demands an active participation of the audience, namely - loud and strong voice sound, that is capable to move the video picture, "to wake up the mundane consciousness" of an artist sleeping on the screen of the video installation. In case of lack of audience' movements, video will stay motionless, reflecting the sleep of "the mundane consciousness". The main idea of this video installation is to reflect idividual or group behaviour on the changes in the video stream by means of video technology.
