A project together with Ioan Cernei. “Perfloor” is a computer controlled sensor system for dance floors, designed to be used as a performance tool or as an interactive installation. This device translates a performer’s natural interaction with the floor (applying pressure while stepping, jumping, rolling etc.) to sound patterns and melodies. By manipulating the device the choreography generates sound environment for itself. The sound and the performer enter a feedback loop – giving each other impulses to continue.
