Ripple Hinge

Ripple Hinge: A Platform for Human Body Interfaces https://mshr.info/RippleHinge.html Installation by MSHR at GASBON METABOLISM, Yamanashi, Japan, 2023 Ripple Hinge is a composition in which two people become mutual interfaces for interacting with an electronic system of light and sound. The duo explore the system's hypershape by standing on a conductive surface and touching each other's skin to navigate its changing behavior. Until it is engaged with, the unoccupied platform contains an absence. Two empty spaces wait for human figures who complete the piece by assuming the roles of sculptural element, compositional agent, electronic component, interface, performer, and explorer.
