SKIN is an interactive installation, in which visitors have the opportunity to use a GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) interface, which measures their skin's moisture. The variations of these values are an indication of psychological or physiological arousal, such as for example appearance of stress or relaxation.
The values received from the GSR are further transmitted to a computer in order to transform the sound and the images of the interactive space. Visitors are therefore invited to create an audiovisual environment from their own emotional and physiological parameters.
The first version of the installation was conceived and developed during an artist in residence invitation by the 2580 Association in Romania (Cluj-Napoca) during the "Liquid spaces – dynamic models of space in art and technology" event in October 2012.
The second and extended version is octophonic and was presented for the first time at Harvestworks- Digital Media Art Center in New York City in June 2014.
