SHIVER

Shiver is a self-contained interactive environment-in-sculpture with 72 IR sensors in the ceiling and 72 solenoid valves that control waterflows. The room is programmed to respond to visitors’ presence, becoming more humid and active as movement increases. We use humidity on the skin, hydration in our tissues and moisture in our environments to regulate our wellbeing and sensitivity to others. This sculpture was articulated by three dancers for SINEW, a collaboration with John Lehrer dancers.
