SUIT encompasses an on-going series of sound-based works with a self-built PVC
performance overall, which is equipped with a loudspeaker, and sensors that register
the performer’s heart movements and the humidity inside the suit.
A Doppler heart sensor, humidity sensor and a 7’’ loudspeaker were installed in a commercially
available rain suit for go-kart drivers. The suit causes the performer to sweat and the heart rate
to rise during a performance. The registered humidity and heart movement data are used to
synthesize sound, which is emitted by the loudspeaker in the back of the suit. Thus, the
generated sound thematizes the interaction between the performer’s visceral body and the
technological suit.
