For over four decades, pioneering sound artist Peter Vogel has been making electronic audio sculptures
and staging performances that respond and encourage viewers to discover patterns through repeated interaction.
Utilizing various electrical components such as sound generators, transistors, switches, amplifiers, loudspeakers,
and photocells, Vogel manages to interweave the randomness of observer-dependent reactions
with determinate functioning memory to create a complex responsive network.
In this series of works, photocells detect the shadows of participants, which trigger sound or light.
The reaction of the work is dependent upon the movement of the viewer as the character or behavior of the work changes accordingly.
This album documents the most important sound recordings of Peter Vogels art installations over the last 45 years.
The collection is curated by Achim Vogel Muranyi.
