⚫️ STEP YOURSELF ⚫️ STEP YOURSELF

Technological installation, electronic bracelet.

The body is an instrument of consciousness.
Nietzsche thought on foot, writing notes step by step. In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the German philosopher describes the semiotics of walking. 
He says that walking is an expression of human will and character, and that each person has a unique walking style that reflects their personality, emotional state, self-esteem and confidence.

Walking is a ritual that allows you to connect to the energy of the Earth and establish contact with nature, calm the mind and tune in to working with magical energy.

In my work, I use bracelets equipped with electronics that are worn on the leg. Using an accelerometer, walking data is collected and transmitted to the installation. Next, the processes of walking are visualized and sonified, telling about my movement in space. I use granular synthesis of field recordings of my walking and additive synthesis method to create a sound composition. The values transmitted from the bracelet about my walking affect the parameters that form the visual and sound.

I show the importance and ritual of walking in my life, in my processes, in the movement of my energies and interaction with nature.
