In the work Sea of Tranquility / Meer der Ruhe the observer submerges in a sea of speech. Fragments of radio messages from the Apollo 11 mission, the first manned flight to the moon, alter multidimensional fractal point clouds that surround and fly past the observer.
Using three-dimensional panoramic projection and
sound calculations, the sound sources
seem to float in the midst of space. The nebulas in the background are
based on the same mathematics as the aviating, sphere shaped clouds of
speech. Thus large and small scale, inside and outside view, share the
same origin.
The initial installation was developed for the ZKM PanoramaLabor using Bernd Lintermanns video software to playback the algorithmic images and sounds generated by Holger Förterer. It was exhibited during the 3D festival Beyond in 2011. Thank you very much to Derek Hauffen for the great support.
