[stop]kontakt
Via we-make-money-not-art comes word of an truly interesting artistic interface.
This is an installation titled [stop]kontakt, designed primarily for children.
A number of objects are wired together and labeled with a + or -. In order to make these objects physically work, the participants must join together the + and - by forming links between them (thus completing the electrical curcuit and activating the object).
Ultimately, the interface isn't anything more than a series of triggers that force the partipants to work together in order for the installation to work successfully. However, that is the goal of the installation, not any misguided attempt to free the guitar (or electronic music) from some imagined prison. [stop]kontakt is an interactive installation, in every sense of the word.
Plus it seems like a lot of fun for the kids....
