Room K24
[Site-specific installation]
created for A Modern Body Festival
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Reports from sensory deprivation experiences have demonstrated the appearance of hallucinogenic visions or of highly pleasant states of consciousness that are still to be assessed. In Room K24 visitors are taken through an orchestration of stimuli that are carefully composed, with aural, olfactory, tactile and proprioceptive inputs. Instead of depriving the senses, the piece invites the public to depart on an introspective journey. Inside the room, time and space have no objective reference. A series of sensations will instigate the reset the of the visitor’s body. One visitor allowed at a time. Visit takes 8 minutes.
BIOS
Mike Rijnierse is an artist known for his large scale light and sound installations, where the public gets incorporated in the piece. His research is based on the interaction between media and the senses. Mike’s installations are often new instruments in which new languages are developed for acoustic and optic-acoustic observation. In his work the behavior of space, passers by, users, machines, infrastructure and so on, are interpreted as parameters. These living processes are used as musical score for his compositions.
