Artist Karina Smigla-Bobinski has created ADA – analog interactive installation, a huge helium-filled PVC balloon with a diameter of 2.5 metres that is trapped inside a room. Its surface is spiked with charcoals attached at 30 centimeter intervals that leave marks on the white surface of the walls, ceilings and floors as it bounces and floats from wall to wall. The balloon has just enough helium in it to keep it floating, as opposed to rising. Resembling some sort of molecular hybrid, the transparent globe bobs around the room seemingly autonomously. Visitors can push the sphere around the room and watch it react to the external impetus.
The piece is being exhibited at the FILE – the Electronic Language International Festival in São Paulo this Summer. The tech filled event is known to mix and match installations, animations movies, performances, machinimas, next to works of web art, documentary, and other ambitious new media art.
