concept & vision
MIXER transforms a steel cement mixer into a 21st century media cocoon suitable for lounging, viewing, and dreaming
design & architecture
fitted with 12” monitors connected to a variety of audio/video inputs - surveillance cameras, satellite TV, DVD player, Play station2 - and lined with a memory foam soft interior, Mixer offers a plush, intimate environment animated by multiple forms of information and media
program & use
we keep its rotating feature as Mixer still pivots on its central axis to allow perception of the space around it from within. In the spirit of a DJ mixing booth, Mixer offers a space for one or few people to select, sample, and mix a variety of sounds and imagery to suit individual fantasies
impact & significance
from the road spinning concrete, to an art space, an ordinary mixer revisited for a shared communal experience of technology - real, virtual, desired, imagined
