The very best of Ars Electronica 1979 - actual
Liquid Cities
Michel Redolfi
Festival Ars Electronica 1996

Liquid Cities is a series of sound installations in which swimming-pools are transformed into three-dimensional, fluid and interactive spaces. The participants moving in the medium of weightlessness explore a transparent city which exists only via the sounds they make. Each Liquid City is named after the swimming-pool used for the particular occasion. In this case it is the Parkbad in Linz

The visitors to Liquid Cities swim or dive in the water and in doing so directly receive the underwater sounds via their bodies [sounds transmitted via the skeleton]. They control their acoustic environment by moving in the three dimensions of the pool, which is made interactive by cameras following the movements from a distance and digital synthesisers. The technology is transparent, the naked body controls.
