Rolling Chair Jockey

installation by Hubert Pichot (FR)

RCJ (music and vidéo compatible) is an electric rolling chair with sensors measuring its move and acceleration, and also some of the moves of its user. A computer processes the sensors data and generates images and sounds. The person using the chair becomes a sort of conductor controling an audiovisual creation through his/her moves in and with the chair. “Try me” is the first prototype and anyone can try it...
