De l'effort

De l'effort from donald abad on Vimeo.

A member of the public by wearing the gloves with motion sensors provided and multimédia goggles (Sony Glasstron or Olympus Eye-trek, is engaged in a dissociated and virtual fight with a boxer. The more the person fights the more he or she pushes the boxer out of sight and sound. Practically the more he or she fights the more the sound and the images disappear. On the contrary the less he fights the more the sound is noisy, the images become more violent and the “fighter” is eventually knocked out.
The public becomes actually the spectator of this peculiar boxing fight involving only one solitary spectator/player/boxer.

Programming : David Olivari (2004), François Giraudon (2002)
