Keeping To A Theme About Artist Who Use Different Materials Or Mediums Before,

how about using spandex?


different ‘modes’ of light are projected onto a taut membrane of spandex which then reacts kinetically in response to touch, Firewall is a stretched sheet of spandex which acts as a membrane interface sensitive to depth that people can push into and create fire-like visuals as well as expressively play music, the original concept stems from a performance piece that Aaron Sherwood in conjunction with Michael Allson are currently developing as Purring Tiger (with Kiori Kawai) titled Mizalu, which will premiere in June 2013, during one scene in the performance dancers will press into the spandex with the audience facing the opposite side, but back to Firewall, it could be that you become the artist by touching it, it reminds me of those plasma balls which were popular many years ago, I would just have to push the firewall to see what happens.
