Prog. notes: “Kreisen” is a three dimensional interactive audio-visual installation work which invites participants to explore under the subjective surface of the projected images to discover the hidden world underneath, and there, to awaken, guide, manipulate, compose, and transform the revealed elements of sound/music and images: mirroring the reality of one’s experience in a living world, such as his/her search for deep inner origin, root, and individuality. These conscious and unconscious decisions of the participants’ interactions made by the hand movements in front of the screen influence the music and visual elements as well as the narrative/musical structure of the work.
