Freequent Traveller: Interaction Versus Contemplation

Abstract

Freequent Traveller is a live interactive installation by the artist Susanne Schuricht. The interface consists of a hammock, whose movement is tracked by a custom-made hardware interface. While relaxing in a hammock one animates text on a projection-sail synchronised with ones motion. The dynamics of these visuals depend on the motion of the hammock. These texts are short essays and excerpts about mobility, home and identity.
