SQUIRT
by Linsey Pollak (Australia)

Action - reaction. Interaction - ribbit ribbit! And in surround sound no less. A sure hit with the young and the young at heart, Squirt is an interactive and performance installation that uses water squirted from bottles to trigger the sounds of Australian frogs. It certainly creates more fun as the performance & workshop will be conducted at the greenery patch.

Visitors will be able to play with the bottles to squirt water at 12 two-dimensional, 1m x 1m, fluoro-acrylic frogs. The frogs are touch-sensitive and when triggered by the squirted water, will produce a soundscape of Australian frogs’ calls. Play with this special frog chorus to your heart’s delight! Also, watch out for a short 10-minute musical performance by two performers at intervals of 20 minutes.
