Schlaufe is an installation developed during a research residency in Berlin. It is located in an abandoned domestic space that exposes the room's architecture. The experience is centred around a connection between the virtual image displayed on an iPad and the physical environment itself. The installation allows audiences to engage with the architectural significance of the track upon which the device moves alongside the imagery presented.
The mechanical sounds create a sense of being part of the machinery, scanning the space. For some, the virtual recording feels more tangible than the physical reality surrounding them. Schlaufe explores temporal representation using a single recording device. Its meaning and effect remain latent until brought together by the spectator. These transformations of experience are primarily sensory.
