Interactive installation, shipping containers, theremin
As the winner of the Slovenian Fotopub Portfolio Review in 2017, I had the opportunity to present my first solo exhibition. I showcased my project in the public space of a city park in front of Novo Mesto‘s town hall.
The installation consisted of two shipping containers wrapped in black plastic. Inside the first container, visitors discovered a camera on a tripod, colorful children‘s building blocks, and an infinite black background. They were invited to create any composition they liked, which would then play back as a musical piece through the speakers once photographed. The second container featured a theremin and a projection. When visitors played the theremin, the tones they produced were visualized in real-time.
The work was framed by text written from the perspective of a super-intelligent entity presenting humanity with this technology, designed to help them perceive the world in a new way—a new sense—enabling humankind to take a crucial evolutionary step for survival on Earth. The text intentionally highlighted the essential role of education in contrast to the underfunding of this sector, inviting viewers to reflect on the significance of investing in knowledge and innovation for a sustainable future.
