KONVOLV: Hamistagan

Requirements for the space: darkness, temperature, colouring (light / dark / specific colour / other) etc:
Light: As dark as possible

Sound: As silent as possible. Other light sounds can leak such as audience noise or far away sound installations.

Dimensions:  Hamistagan can be redeveloped, and evolve as site-specific depending on each location. Together with the curatorial team, we would be happy to redesign the set design and display structures.

Our dream would be to present Hamistagan in a big space, allowing the atmosphere of the holistic experience to grow. The two versions presented first at Suomenlinna, then at Kunst University gallery space (one a dark and underground place, and the other one a “white gallery box” ~15m2) were small, and we believe that more space could give more dimensions for subconscious and physical audience experience.

Surfaces: >= 3 Surfaces where the laser light can be reflected from the glass works. They can also be irregular but as reflective or smooth as possible. This artwork will not work in an absorbent space.

Electricity consumption:
Standard mains current (10A/16A)

Support and other structures:
The work needs support structures, hanging points, or similar

Please state which structures, hardware or other equipment is needed from the client:
To be negotiated with the client.

Does the artwork use sound:
Uses sound mostly from parametric speakers (The sound is not heard unless one is under the projection of the sonic beam). Sound from active speakers is at normal levels and not constant. Not loud.

Minimum height of the space:
4m

Minimum square meters of the space:
20

Building time and people required (estimate):
Minimum building time: 3 days. People required: 3

Artist's presence:
Artist or their representative must be present during building

Which kind of light sources and what other materials and equipment are used?
Technical details The installation can be produced in two different settings.  Using a class 3B Laser. For this version we count on PhD level consultation from Aalto University Signal Processing Department to comply with the regulations approved by STUK.  Using class 2 lasers + 2 laser projectors.  The rest of technical specifications for both versions are the same unless it is stated. Space: Light: As dark as possible Sound: As silent as possible. Other light sounds can leak such as audience noise or far away sound installations.
