Sphäre
Interactive Installation

The central
object of the interactive, visual installation SPHÄRE (Sphere) is a
65 cm wide sphere.
Glimmering greenish-blue, it seems to float
in the darkness of the space. Optical sensors slowly circle around
the object, scanning and surveilling their surroundings like radar
and projecting it, as a fading representation of space and time, onto
the phosphorescing surface of the sphere.
In an apparitional
way, the viewer is represented on the round object. Simultaneously,
the changing dimensionality of SPHÄRE is visible:
through
optical distortion and compression, its surface shows not only
spatial dimensions but also the factor of time – and invites the
visitors to think about existence on the surface of a sphere.
