Receptor
Antonín Kindl
The interactive installation Receptor explores the issue of the incompleteness of knowledge and the process of perception. The installation consists of a neural network made of optical fibers, as an electrified perceptive system that constantly collects information about its surroundings. It interprets data in real time and returns it to the environment in a distorted form, with the aim of questioning the solidity of our ideas. The project focuses on the perceptual processes that shape human experience and explores questions about perception. The installation allows viewers to actively participate in the process of perception by interacting with electronic components and sensors. The system captures sound, touch and movement and transforms individual stimuli into multi-channel sound and light. Interactivity allows viewers to intervene in data layers and thus participate in the creation of outputs. However, the resulting interpretations of the data are unpredictable, disrupting fixed ideas about our immediate surroundings.
In my work I focus on new media and installations based on light, sound and interactivity. I am interested in how technology affects our relationship with the world, and therefore I use it to give it a new purpose. Through immersive and interactive elements, I try to provide a way for us to see and understand even elusive concepts. I enjoy documenting the creative process and exploring dead ends that lead nowhere.
