Mahan Javadi - Bruno Billio
Toronto, Canada
Bruno Billio & Mahan Javadi have devised an exciting and interactive way to “touch” and
play with light through vocal participation. With the combination of a green industrial laser, string
and interactive computer programming and electronics, participants can have the energy and excitement
of their voices animated and enlarged visually to an urban scale in a mesmerizing laser display.
The "Urban Voice Oscillator" will be activated through vocal interaction via a microphone
that will manipulate and oscillate a vertical mohair string illuminated using the green laser. The resulting
oscillation of the string will cause pulsation of the laser beam. The participant becomes the performer
as a result of the personal voice becoming public through the large scale visual display.
