Biomorphic Breath #1

Introduction

Biomorphic Breath #1 is a kinetic installation that breathes new life into discarded computer parts.

The work measures 3 by 4 meters and consists of a silver foil laid out on the ground. This foil moves up and down in an organic way, following a shifting, ‘breathing’ pattern. The viewer can influence the installation by adjusting the pattern, speed, and intensity.

Biomorphic Breath #1 playfully demonstrates that with some creativity, raw materials and components deserve a second life.

The name “Biomorphic Breath #1” is inspired by the association with breathing. The sequence number #1 suggests that more similar works can be expected.

Behavior

The installation sometimes behaves hectic, next almost unnoticeable, suddenly disturbingly irregular. The movement patterns change over time automatically.

The audience can interact with the installation by choosing different breathing patterns with the remote control. They can also influence the speed and intensity of the movements by activating the sensors on each side of the remote control with their hands.
