The Butterflies

By Helena Hamilton 2014
Recently shown at Digital Design Weekend at the V&A Museum, London (2017). ‘The Butterflies’ is a work which transforms an overhead projector into a site specific, performative sound sculpture. All sounds originate live from within and around the machine - selection, manipulation and duration of sounds are made via interaction through live drawing. This repetitive, considered visual interaction stimulates sonic variations throughout the duration of the performance. Self generating performance system designed and created by Helena Hamilton.
