Shi.Ko Ltd. 2007 is an interactive installation where I explored the dynamic between human memory and machine information processing by using digitally processed sound as a means of contrasting machine and mind. This work exploited the abilities of computer algorithms to deconstruct and reconstruct sensory data extracted from the audience, forming new relationships between familiar images and sounds. The work is dormant until it is observed. This is a recursive system whereby continued participation is necessary for the functioning of the work. Likewise, this work has a wonderful exchanging of roles- in order to interact, the viewer must engage with a community of participants as they are put into the role of teacher. This work it is meant to question the role of mediated digital interfaces, and to reveal the unknown data that is gathered through our engagement with them.
