HYPERLOCATOR I & II

See. This is what it looks like. Look at this. This looks like a city. Like a little model of a city. You instantaneously see all the houses that are there. The streets, the lanes, the public gardens, and us swirling around them.

You control the control room. Using reality’s representation Google Streetview and an algorithmic visual and auditive filter triggered by three dimensional movements the installation becomes a visualisation presented as an interactive space. The soundscape is created using sound recordings made by a group of city dwellers. A few times per day they were asked to use an app that first asked them to answer a personal question and then asked them to directly after record a sound. These sounds are also used in collaboration with Josh Berson within the scientific project Cartographies of Rest at Hubbub, an international collective –based in London at Wellcome Collection– of social scientists, artists, humanities researchers, scientists, broadcasters, public engagement professionals and mental health experts.

Through exploring the work the visitor is not only stimulated to use and experience their own sensory perception in a more curious and reflective way, but also asked to critically examine the reliability of both digital and physical sensory impressions and experiences.
