‘zones of flow (iv)’: horizontal immersion & interactions with water indoors

'zones of flow (iv)' is an interactive immersive audiovisual installation designed to be experienced horizontally, while people are sandwiched between flows: a projection featuring water surfaces and reflections (above), a fully functioning waterbed (below), and stereo sounds (around). Visitors are invited to lie down on the waterbed and use their bodies and hand gestures to self-regulate the flows of moving images playing above them, and the surrounding sounds. The media presented in the installation brings snippets of the landscape indoors through field recordings and moving images featuring water and flows. With their bodies, people move the water that gently enwraps them underneath, and with their hands (through pressure and proximity sensing) they control and self-regulate their audiovisual experience (see https://vimeo.com/844939019, 2:54min video documentation).
