DeepMaus
An
audio installation
with mouse & turntable.
A
double sized turntable.
Dimensions: Approx. 90 cm x 70 cm.
The diameter of the record is 60 cm.
The turntable is without any arm or pickup.
An computer mouse is located on the record.
When
the mouse is being moved, sound is being played.
Vertical movements changes the speed of the reproduced sound. An extended
mouse movement results in a faster speed.
If the mouse is moved towards the user, the sound is played in reverse.
When the mouse stops, the speed of sound goes slower. At the end the sound
stops.
Horizontal movements shifts "tracks". The record skips to other
sounds.
Very low sounding. The sound is also an tactile experience for the hand moving the mouse.
A small loudspeaker is mounted inside the mouse.
