For the reason that the computer removes one from the body, the body should be strongly engaged. For the reason that the computer is purely logical, the language of interaction should strive to be intuitive. For the reason that the computer’s activity takes place on the tiny playing elds of integrated circuits, the encounter with computer should take place in human-scaled physical space. In the kitchen.
Kitchen consists of 12 black drawers composed to resemble kitchen cabinets, and containing within a unique audio file that plays for the visitor each time the cabinet’s door is opened. The viewer, manipulating the cabinets by opening the each in turn, can act as composer, creating a unique opus, through the combination of select sound files in turn. Each individual has the opportunity to craft a personal soundscape that evokes not only the desires and preferences of the viewer, but also the unique moment of time spent with Kitchen itself.
