Cabin Fever
2022 Cabin Fever is an audiovisual artwork featuring 4 multilingual dreams sung in 4 languages by over 50 performers worldwide, using Zoom video conferencing software. Groups of singers cover their computer cameras with colourful objects from their homes, creating shifting colour palettes on screen. Each colour spectrum represents a different group of singers, with variations emerging from the natural interaction between the camera, lighting, and the textures and colours of the chosen objects. The work explores unconventional uses of video conferencing technology and reappropriates large video screens in public spaces.
