Exhibition text

FLAT invited the Amsterdam and Internet-based work group Browserbased to work and present in FLAT Station to present work and events over the winter period. On the 12th of December this culminated in a unique interactive event around a responsive sound and light installation at FLAT Station. People from all over the world with an internet connection were invited to call Niko's installation, that was centered around a candle in front of a speaker. Once connected, the sound of the voice of the caller, amplified and blown into the space, was challenged to blow out the candle through its amplified, almost physical form of the sound waves. Throughout the entire space and residency, lights responded whenever a call was taking place, echoing the sound waves and connectivity from any part of the world to the space. Special catering was provided by Les Dames de Vent et le Feu.
