Eye Resonator at the Power Plant

About

http://eyeresonator.c3.hu/en/

Eye Resonator at the Power Plant is an immersive installation that captures the imagination, engages the intellect and excites the emotions while responding to the eye movements of the spectator. Eye Resonator explores your capacity for comprehension and transports you to the future while bringing alive the dazzling art deco dome of the Kelenföld Power Plant’s Control Room, a masterpiece by the Hunagarian architect Virgil Borbíró.

The Control Room is the setting for the domed ‘Cupola’ of the Eye Resonator and invites you into its multisensory environment. Sound, temperature and light then set you free on a journey of self-exploration. Each encounter with the system is unique as it reacts to the voluntary and involuntary responses of the individual creating a tension between being in control and being controlled. Eye Resonator at the Power Plant explores the faculty of perception and aspects of self-awareness by means of aesthetic pleasure and boredom.

The Eye Resonator installation utilises eye-tracking technology combined with real-time visualisation. The Eye Resonator development team includes graphics programmer Gavin Wood, hardware specialist Andor Gaudia and sound composer Adam Parkinson.

Eye Resonator at the Power Plant exhibition is part of OFF-BIENNALE Budapest and organised by C3, Center for Culture & Communication Foundation with the support of Kelenföld Power Plant, Hungarian Museum of Architecture and Ravensbourne (UK).
