My pieces are depending on an active viewer: the sound objects, light-reliefs and kinetic sculptures await a “playing” spectator, which makes them “speaking” through movements or noises. The inner life of the electronic objects can be explored through interaction, by the reciprocation of action and reaction, just as the psyche of a human being is revealed through a conversation. However, the “language” that is spoken here is primitive: it consists of movements and simple tone structures. Nevertheless, the state of the observer is transmitted to the object.

If it´s rest or irritation, shyness or liveliness, boredom or curiosity, they all trigger correspondingly different reactions. Thus, e.g. some objects move more rapid accordingly to the movements of the viewer with increased complexity, others with longer influence with increased or diminished intensity of already running processes.

Peter Vogel was born March 9th, 1937 in Freiburg/Breisgau in Germany. The artist died there on May 8th, 2017.
