GER GER (DE)
BLACK BALLOONS
04:26 min. / 2008
Deserts as environments of extreme heat may cause serious stresses
and fragilities in diff erent manners. Contrasts of vulnerability and
eternal unbreakables. The appearance of balloons and cactuses side
by side, a love-hate relationship with dangerous consequences.
[technology] When balloons explode, sensors on the inside of the balloons become
exposed, leaving sounds behind. Out of complete silence, a soundscape gradually
emerges. Light sensors power the master track ... One of the balloons diff ers from
the others, simulates, by means of a distance sensor, a water balloon, now silent due
to the explosion and lost water. RT sound processing from the assessed sensor data.
Ger Ger’s Sound Nomads project is comprised of a combination of sound art,
music, public art, performance, interactive installations as well as video. The
constant search for noises, sounds and rhythms lies as central to Sound Nomads
as the creation of ephemeral interactive sensor based playgrounds.
