Most recently
'ENKI Experiment 3' was commissioned by Arts Catalyst for the
show
Interspecies.
Above: The fish and human are isolated in separate rooms - they communicate
through the ENKI system which translates human biophysical changes into
information the fish can understand - making cross species interaction
possible. A 4 x 8m structure consisting of two compartments. This box
like construction represents an 'Operant Chamber' (a soundproof chamber,
to observe, manipulate,
and record the behavior of animals). Divided into two internal rooms, [A]
is sound proofed for the human and [B] for the fish, contains the tank, and
is lined with material that will shield the experiment from electronic interference & sound.
A small window allows a view through to each of the chambers. A desk out
side is used for monitoring the experiment.
