Bi-pass is a responsive site-specific installation exploring the rhythm and dynamics of public spaces and their impact on the individual. Commissioned by the cultural administration of the city of The Hague, the installation was built specifically for The Hague City Hall, an enormous white atrium designed by architect Richard Meier.
The debut version of Bi-pass took the form of a confined opaque passage of telephone booth-size, placed in the center of the atrium’s ground floor, continuously capturing real-time ambient sound and visual movement in its surroundings. These were digitally manipulated and projected within the passage, forming a micro-space in which a solitary audiovisual observation of the atrium could be experienced.
