Sunday, 14 June 2009 22:04 Sound Art / Installation - (SE)  The number of CCTV cameras watching us is increasing. Wherever we go, each movement is being tracked and observed. CCTV Music is an interactive sound installation using the same technique as security services, but instead of a visual image an audible interpretation of the supervised area is given. The installation reacts to each and every movement; the combination of direction, intensity and size decides what sound is going to be heard. CCTV Music is not only a comment to the increasingly supervised society but also a music instrument, a stage, and a toy.
Democracy, interaction and relations
Anyone who enters the installation is both musician and dancer/performer. Clearly, this questions the traditional relationship between music and dance.We are used to dance relating to music that is usually composed beforehand, perhaps even pre-recorded. In CCTV Music, music is created by movement, and completely dependent on it. That gives unusual power, and unusual possibilities, to the mover. The installation also questions the traditional relationship between performer and audience. CCTV Music is a democratic stage where anyone can entre or leave at any point in the improvised performance. At the same time it is like a giant baby gym for all ages – and it sure is joyful to play in it!
