CIRCULEZ Y’A RIEN À VOIR
PUBLIC SPACE INSTALLATION — 2001
Circulez y’a rien à voir is a sound and image interactive installation in public space, conceived to be set up in a passing by area such as a shopping window in a street. The english translation of the title could be : “move along now, there’s nothing to see”, something policemen say to scatter people away.
The installation is a kind of a surveillance device that allows the passer by to generate images and sounds by his mere moves in front of the projection space. The movements of the people, captured by a camera are converted into graphic patterns and sound modulations. If nobody is passing by, there is no sound nor image.
Every visitor can, as one pleases, roam, dance, stamp, run, or simply wave the hand and experiment his own way of activating images and sounds.
