Introduction to the project
In InsideOut Salzburg, artist Ekaterina Smirnova explores the city of Salzburg through the lens of personal sensations and emotions. Using 3D scanning technology, she creates models of key city objects, allowing viewers to perceive the city not only visually, but also tactilely, through sound and form.
Technology and approach
Using photogrammetry, Catherine recreates architectural details and cityscapes, offering a multi-faceted view of Salzburg. The installation includes physical objects that can be hugged and touched, enhancing the emotional experience and creating a sense of safety and cosiness.
Emotional interaction
The project endeavours to convey the feelings and experiences of being in Salzburg through the use of sound and form. Visitors can ‘embrace’ the city by interacting with the installation, which creates a deep connection between the viewer and the city, allowing them to feel its atmosphere on an intuitive level.
