Abstract

The Active-Stimulation Feedback Platform is about networks and flows, consent and resistance, desire and aversion. It is a global simulation, extruded from the computer onto a physical interactive platform, a circle 16 feet in diameter, densely covered with arcade-style push buttons. Viewer / participants will interact with the simulation by walking, crawling and rolling across these buttons. Their movements trigger and bias playback of audio samples ("yes" or "no") recorded from 2000 people across the globe.
