Lux
by Markus Bader (DE)
The installation Lux consists of 5 mirror-balls, each equipped
with a loud speaker, which hang from the ceiling of the exhibition
room. Through a web-cam, the exhibition is transmitted to the Lux
homepage and is completed by another 5 mirror-balls shown there.
The mirror-ball being nothing but a visual accessory at discotheques,
in connection with Lux gains supplementary functions through its
use as an online DJ-interface.
| The Lux
homepage allows users to transmit sounds and songs
to the mirror-balls. Tracks saved onto the webcam-mirror-ball
can also be chosen by the exhibition's visitors. They
have to switch on the mirror-ball by pulling a string
at the ball's bottom: as soon as the track has been activated,
the mirror-ball rotates until the track is over. Each
mirror-ball can save up to 10 songs. |
