The Pathogen of War is an immersive speculative fiction documentary set in a future where constant war has led to fully resistant bacteria which destroys the world’s population. Participants watch footage on analogue television sets, listen to voiceovers through wireless headphones and interact with body-responsive visuals.
As the project’s Technologist and Technician, my tasks were:
🦠 Assessing the technical needs of the project, writing a technical outline for the presentation, and creating equipment purchase/hire lists for the Producer.
🦠 Devising ways to link analogue technology – CRT monitors, radio headphones – with digital technology – Qlab for show control, Touch Designer for interactive visuals.
🦠 Writing technical documentation for future presentations of the piece, detailing set-up, operation and troubleshooting instructions.
