Just finished two weeks at the amazing Cowwarr Art Space Garden Studio. I spent a lot of time staring into this computer trying to work on a Masters thesis, of course I ended up with more questions than answers. I studied questionnaires and hours of video footage of people interacting with Playable Streets' work (In Touch and PLAYSpace). One observation that I'm particularly interested in is the interaction people had with the other people around the work. Interaction with other other participants create variety in an otherwise limited interactive device (in this case musical plants). This human interaction will be the focus of our next work Reach Out Sounds as part of the Coburg Carnivale. Reach out Sounds uses skin as the musical interface, the act of contact will be the act of music making. Stay tuned, more details to come!
Just imagine cows mooing, birds chirping and this country twang twanging...
