Deceptive cadence an interactive artwork for cooperative play

Published: 19 June 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Deceptive Cadence is an interactive sound installation for audience participation. The artwork is relating to Umberto Eco's commentaries on so-called open work, as well as theories of relationality, intuition and individuation in the works of Bergson, Deleuze and other process theorists as expounded upon by artist and theorist Sher Doruff. The installation creates a playful tension between how the participants place a series of color tracked objects in relation to each other, and a sound composition that is being manipulated via a Max/MSP patch depending on how these objects are placed or moved. In addition to being an artwork in its own right, Deceptive Cadence is a cross-disciplinary project that employs artistic strategies to create an aesthetically organized space for an open work, where the audience is motivated to co-create and build together. For children, the installation functions as a tangible experience which stimulates cooperation and listening skills, as well as facilitating explanations of the technical basis for color and motion tracking.
