TIAGO MARTINS (PT), VESELA MIHAYLOVA: Tripo
Interactive installation, 2013. Music by Claudio Pina.
A set of three short and interconnected narratives are delivered through an imaginary device inspired by the tin can radio. Participants are led on the exploration of an indoor space to find hotspots where the device can be used. At each of the hotspots participants may use the device in order to listen to pieces of three different stories which evolve and intersect throughout the location, as if they were memories of the space itself.
Tripo populates an empty, destitute space with an immersive and intimate experience. Evoking a design based on media archaeology and the imaginarium of childhood, it prompts the participant to experience new perspectives on the meaning of the physical space itself.Tripo populates an empty, destitute space with an immersive and intimate experience.
