Swiss National Fonds project ‘Wartezeiten’, Bern University of the Arts (HKB), 2011- 2014

I acted as the artistic director of the project (in collaboration with Copa & Sordes, Basel). Our team also included the sociologist Harald Klingemann, the perfumer Vero Kern, and the media artist Michel Winterberg. Two waiting rooms (one at a hospital, one at immigration services) were remodelled, to examine how this would impact subjective waiting experiences. Among other things, I conceived and developed two interactive installations - a ‘bubble column’ (filled with highly viscous silicone oil and powered by the kind of air pumps commonly used in RC submarines), and a Microsoft Kinect ‘waiting shadow’ (both with programming by Michel Winterberg).
