"TAMBURI"
2001











A large interactive installation, where visitors manipulate image and sound via an interface using four large drums, or tamburi.
Enlarged images of peopleå°ˆ palms are projected onto the surfaces of the tamburi. When you strike the drum, your eyes are drawn along the lines traced into those palms. Various small objects appear at different points on the palms, only to be suddenly clutched by those very palms. As the palms close, messages are sent out over the Internet.
<<TAMBURI>> uses the motif of the drum - one of the oldest of all communication tools - to embody in interactive form, core concepts of our cultural traditions and historical cultures.
(Since this is a new work, some of the particulars may change by the time of exhibition)
