MOANORATOR
Collaborating with Louis Rawlins
“Moanerator” is an interactive project that generates sexual moaning from a participant’s basic Karaoke-style interaction. By artificially creating “sex sounds” for individual participants through a casual entertaining experience, the project examines one’s formal perception of sexuality. This situation highlights such questions as where is the place for this simulated activity and what is the personal benefit from participation. These concerns are foregrounded while the general dialogue with Internet and popular entertainment culture are the project’s foundation. The following paper addresses the project’s interface, exploration of sexuality, usage of phonetics, and overall interactivity.
i saw/heard this piece performed from scratch in the SFAI DMS in the fall of 2005. awesome. two willing participants were transformed from an emcee/karaoke role into sexual partners.the process (trick?) facilitating the result was transparent and still did not dilute the effect. solid.
