STORM AT SEA
2007 INTERACTIVE AUDIO-VIDEO INSTALLATION
BEN KINSLEY

STORM AT SEA is an interactive audio-visual installation based on Foley sound effect instruments used in live radio broadcasts of the 1920s. Each instrument was customized to create both sound and image when played, and with enough hands, a puppetshow-like video of a storm at sea can be created in real-time.
