Support BREATH – Site-specific Interactive AV Installation

BREATH is an interactive audio-visual installation unfolding within the subterranean architecture of The Dungeon of Polymorphous Pan. This post-industrial basement breathes with history: its raw columns, corroded fixtures, and remnants of infrastructure are not mere backdrop—they are collaborators.

At the heart of the piece is a simple, universal act: breathing. A humidity sensor captures this intimate gesture and transforms it into a trigger for light and sound. The space responds—not with spectacle, but with attentiveness. Contact microphones on salvaged metal relics allow visitors to intervene physically, activating layered sonic textures drawn from the site’s own decaying body. When untouched, the system shifts into an ambient mode—still alive, still listening.

BREATH explores the fragile tensions and harmonies between the industrial and the organic, between technological infrastructure and biological presence. It asks: Can machines be attuned to breath, decay, and natural rhythms—not to dominate, but to listen?

Rather than delivering a fixed narrative, BREATH proposes a state—a shared environment between human gesture, machine perception, and environmental residue. Here, technology becomes a medium of coexistence: sensitive, adaptive, and incomplete without your presence.

WHY I'M FUNDRAISING?

This project is a deeply DIY undertaking—built from repurposed materials, open-source tools, and sheer willpower. Every wire, sensor, LED, and hacked-together audio element has been personally sourced, soldered, and tested. But to fully realize the potential of BREATH, I need your support.

Your donation will help cover:

Essential hardware (sensors, microphones, LEDs, speakers, microcontrollers)

Power and safety infrastructure for the site

Materials to refine the interactive elements

Documentation (video/editing) for future exhibitions and accessibility

Dehumidifier hiring costs

I’m not seeking to commercialise this work—I’m seeking to complete it with care and fidelity to its vision. If you've ever felt moved by immersive art, resonated with the beauty of abandoned spaces, or believe in the potential of DIY technology to foster connection, your support—no matter how small—can make a meaningful difference.
