Asunto: [acaro alcaloide] [Snow Crash Project] Versus, sounding dialogues - by David Letellier
VERSUS . David Letellier from David Letellier on Vimeo.

Versus is a kinetic sound installation by David Letellier. Its functioning
is characterized by an interactive dialogic mechanism. There are two
kinetic sculptures that are interdependent and they have to be face to face
to make sense.Each sculpture is made out of 12 triangular panels, joining
at the center in a flower-like shape with actuators to allow slow movement.
In the center of this singular "corolla" there's a microphone and a
speaker. At fixed timing each sculpture "dialogues" with the other one
producing a sound which is recorded and whose frequencies are analyzed by
the opposite sculpture. The sculptures then move accordingly, with a
pulsating conceptual attitude, before playing back a modified sound. In
fact, the original sound emitted by the first kinetic flower is modified by
sounds and presence of the visitors and by the reverberations of the room.
By their presence these external agents become active actors in the
installation, making the continuous loop always unpredictable. An alien
communication is established, but one grounded in the obscure grammar coded
by the artist. The spectators are the "noise" in this communication, but
are also the agents of variation and evolution of the dialogue. It's a
classic ecosystem for the transmission of sense, and the kinetic movements
are not only functional (changing the shape changes the emission of sounds
as well), but they are also shown to be alive and reactive, which in a
communication environment is simply essential.
