So what is Synapse?
Infinite Intimate Connections
Synapse is an interactive project designed to celebrate the infinite intimate connections between people. We want to encourage a state of euphoria through play, sexuality, tribal dance, and flow. One “player” unlocks the music and psychedelic projections by dancing within the soundscape in front of a Kinect camera. The audience is situated in a comfortable environment to soak in the audio/visual experience.
The installation goes through four stages.
Play - Kids: Laughing children, playful bursts of color, and playful music
Intimate - Sex: Heavy breathing and moaning, internal sounds of the body, visuals of fire, faces, and intimate close ups, thick dance music
Tribal - Gaia: Natural sounds of the forest, mandalas created with natural footage of water and earth, tribal percussion music
Flow - Cosmic: Frequencies and feedback loops, spacey drone, solfeggio healing frequencies, cosmic mandalas and fractals
