Interpose

Interpose is an immersive kinetic installation that explores the phenomenon of informational noise. An array of mechanical displays is used to visually interpolate actual news headers scraped in real-time from major news sites on the same topic. Visitors are invited to wander inside this “informational forest” and seek out a suitable spot where the interpolation seems more relevant to their particular opinion on a given topic.

The constantly changing texts and pseudo-graphics at the edges of the rectangular array, in conjunction with interpolation patterns that grow increasingly chaotic in the direction of the installation’s center, give viewers a vague sense of orientation in this permanently changing “informational field.” The sound of mechanical displays changing their values creates the spatial effect of a noise flow, which by design is synced with the visual representation.
