Hørbar/Audiobar

Hoerbar/Audiobar is a responsive environment created by the Danish artist Mogens Jacobsen. The project is commisioned by The Museum for Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark. Mogens Jacobsen was presented with the task of finding a new way to present the museum's vast collection of international audio-art.

The result is the Horbar/Audiobar which consists of two rooms: A bar-room for collective interaction and a study lounge for more in deep exploration. In each room users can listen to different audio-art clips by moving RFID equipped bottles across a table with an RFID reader built into it. A new and playful way to communicate audio-art.

Horbar/Audiobar is exhibited at The Museum for Contemporary Art in Roskilde until April 15.

Other projects by Mogens Jacobsen: The Power of Mind/Memory, TurntablistPC and Crime Scene.
