Ephemeron — Sculpting a Collective Consciousness and Mapping a Collaborative Process

Authors: Barry L. Roshto, Eleni Panouklia, John Holder and Sally Pryor

Abstract

Ephemeron is an interactive installation resulting from the collaboration of artists during the e-MobilArt project. Ephemeron, a responsive sculpture, attempts to express the eternal ephemeral human epic: the daily song of pain and struggle, love and loss, lived by beings full of “mud and dreams". The installation comprises an audio soundscape, projected video and a large fabric form under high tension and with a floor of sand. Visitors may enter the form, where the projected video and soundscape become sensitive to their presence.
