Zachary Seldess: “A Head of View”
01 - 02 Aug 2009
An interactive sound world in 3D game-space in the ZKM_Cube,
during museum opening times, admission free
Opening Fri 31 July at 7 p.m. in the ZKM_Cube
“A Head of View” is a surround audio/video environment in a 3D-game-space, which can be used interactively by several players in real-time. The core of this installation by the American composer and media artist, Zachary Seldess, is a new type of game navigation, which allows for the manipulation of the game-space by the user’s bodily movements. By accounting for his appearance, his position in space and the number of players, the movements of the player directly lead to unexpected transformations of the sound.
