Urks World is an exploration into the chaotically joyful, psychedelically colorful, and ecstatically noisy brain of Urks. A touch-sensitive keyboard made of tiny tangerines invited touch and play from participants, triggering Urks noises that could be manipulated to get even weirder, as well as fun visuals onscreen. In addition, participants could manipulate video from a webcam, making themselves into the glitchy, colorful image of Urks’ dreams.
Created with Max/MSP with interactions from Arduino & microcontroller.
Installed at Black Water Bar for a weekend dedicated to the astrology and astronomy of the planet Uranus. February 2024.
