Ring of Voices

This interactive science-art installation allows it’saudience to examine, touch, and play as an instrument, slides of real human cells taken from a now closed French medical laboratory. Audience members have to put on the “Ring of Voices” so that they can ground the voltage of the art piece and allow it to sing back to them. This installation (which is 100% safe) uses technology that requires the human body to form a voltage current that is then turned into sound. Without the ring on, or the connection of the human touch, no sound will be played back. Each slide is meant to represent a different voice, perspective and intonation yet all the slides work when playing at the same time. The cells of humans serve as the visual art piece and the cells of the audience serve as the contact point for human interaction.
