Performair is an audio-visual interactive installation which ‘misuses’ traditional office devices—printers, modems, scanners etc.— to play together as elements of an unconventional orchestra. Performair aims to awake the everyday user from a state of cerebral numbness caused by the present proliferation of technological devices. By reappraising traditional devices, new ways of auditory and visual communication can be explored.
Performair is an audio-visual interactive installation which ‘misuses’ traditional office devices – printers, modems, scanners etc. – originally designed for other functions, to play together as elements of an unconventional orchestra. A classical orchestra performs a piece from a score—a text. Performair’s texts enable devices to play like musical instruments.
