“Atmosphere binds spectators to a work; aura creates distance.
When the two are brought together, something else happens - first emotional, then intellectual.”
- Udo Kittelmann [on the effects of "event art"]

interstice is a modular audio visual instrument, which utilizes the viewers body image and gestures as the “input device” via image tracking technology, enabling the viewer to become the object and modulate their own mirror image with filtering. additionally the viewer/participant modulates low frequency oscillations corresponding to their biomechanical locomotion. interstice brings a visceral, physical element to interactivity and transforms the notion of the object-oriented into the observer-oriented. The object, aura and viewer become one.
