Fusion Festival /

Kugelautomat. An interactive, public art installation at Fusion festival. Concept, design + execution in collaboration with Beatplantation / Aaron.St

Germany, 2011 — 12

Teaming up with Beatplantation and the Fusion festival I developed an immense rolling ball sculpture installation. The result is a deliberately over-engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion; an installation of massive dimensions, brutal, steampunk-style.. From a control panel users can interact with the installation, starting the motor, lights and steam while a series of reactions and sounds are triggered along the trajectory of the ball.

The physical shape is inspired by engineered structures and architectural metaphors.
