Video Peacock
An Audio Peacock costume made from white plexiglass is used as a mobile projection screen. In this audio-visual performance the electro-acoustic quality of a Peacock is visually enhanced via a video projector. Video-taped images are projected simultaneously to the sounds on the costume. In a more spectacular sense the Peacock’s own real-time image can be projected live onto its costume as a form of “video-feedback”. Additionally its own voice and sounds can be used to manipulate the projected images: in effect the Peacock “wears” its own sound.
