Warpaper

2014. Interactive sound and visual installation (chair, speaker, sensors, camera)

dimensions variable

Warpaper is an interactive visual and sound installation, installed in the dark room. The speaker, camera, and sensors are

attached to a chair, an ordinary chair that is easily available but somehow looks familiar to one of a significant photograph

in Thai history decades ago... or perhaps this is just another coincidence. The work Warpaper acts like the artist's invitation,

asking the audience to join in and become part of their work. The key not from one of the selected songs is decoded and

transmitted to a speaker that is filled with water, resulting in a wave in the water, shaking to that vibration. This wave image

is then projected on the wall, creating a site-specific installation. Then, the vibration and image changed according to the 

audience's actions and participation. In this idea, "us" the audience, have changed our role from 'passive' to 'active' as we

are now the creator.
