| Memory
is a Pea: a memorial
Mixed
media interactive sound installation
The installation is exhibited in complete darkness except for light
from one candle and the glow of the computer screen. Viewers are invited
to lie down on the bed. Pressure sensors in the pillow activate playback
of dream-like sounds as participants rest and move thier heads on the
pillow. The small table to the left of the bed bears a stack of blank
visiting cards and a small sign asking participants to write a memory
or dream on a card and slip it between the mattresses. Variables from
the pressure sensors are displayed in a scrolling text window on the
computer screen.
