stuttering - interactive installation
Channel: nathaniel stern
Date: 2013-07-12

stuttering provokes its viewers into exploring the labor and intimacy of embodied communication, compelling them to stutter with their bodies. Here an invisible and asymmetrical projection grid is saturated with trigger points, each activating animated text and spoken word as our bodies cross its path. The saturation of these 'virtual buttons' creates an inverse relationship: move quickly, and the piece will itself stutter in a barrage of audiovisual verbiage; move carefully, even cautiously -- stutter with your body -- and both meaning and bodies emerge.
