Cricket manifesto (with AK-73)
june 2006
Movement sensors, computer and sound equipment
For the final exhibition that all the students at KKH (royal University College of Fine Arts of Stockholm) I prepared an interactive installation all around the school. With software MAX MSP I designed with the help of Mario Gonzalez a net of movement sensors placed all around the building.

Those sensors every time that somebody or something was reaching their range of detection, they activate a sound recordings of crickets. Those crickets were sounding all around the school. As well it was a sound piece reminding jungle environment that was popping up randomly.

The claim of the proposal was to generate a debate around the whole conception of what’s a school of art. According to the project I wrote a kind of Manifesto to make people react to the stuckness of the school.
