{Percept} is based on a pen and paper exercise I created
years ago that was turned into a an interactive multimedia installation during a
collaboration with William Brent in early 2006.
{Percept} uses 4 walls of projected video and 4 channels of spatialized audio to create a immersive environment that completely surrounds the visitor. Sound content is provided by visitors to the installation, who are asked to contribute by interpreting abstract concepts with sound. Sound and video are processed, and all aspects of the installation evolve according to how visitors interact with the system.
Although the original pen and paper exercise resembles a game in certain ways, it is a collaborative game; there are no winners or losers. The purpose of the exercise is to enter into the thought process of the other player, and to try to interpret and communicate difficult concepts effectively and universally. {Percept} expands on these themes by creating a physical space where groups of people can contribute to a media field that evolves over time to represent their shared experiences and perceptions.
