The Body Electric

Mi Sei Vicino (If you are close to me) by Sonia Cillari is an interactive piece that attempts to map human interaction. A performer standing at the center of a sensor floor acts as a human antenna. When audience members touch or come near the performer sound and images charting the encounters are projected on screens surrounding the performance space.


Cillari is a performance artist and architect who often uses the human body as an interface in her pieces. She explains different aspects of her work in the video below.
