About this Event
On 12 May, the last edition of our Digital Care programme will highlight 'Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100km/h)' (2000) by Marnix De Nijs and Edwin van der Heide. This interactive installation presented at the exhibition 'REBOOT: Pioneering Digital Art', questions the present-day role of the machine, asking whether we control machines or machines control us. 'Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100km/h)' highlights the threatening but also seductive aspects of autonomous technologies and asks questions about the role of humans in technological developments. Who’s in control, the human or the machine?
(...) The biggest and most sensational piece in the exhibition was a huge revolving arm with a large loud speaker at one end. It moved its pen like a caged tiger, letting out little growls when its sensors picked up someone standing nearby. If that person moved, the speaker would follow them." https://artstalkmagazine.nl/reboot-pioneering-digital.../
