Vinyl Workout 2006
This piece by Theodore Watson is designed for the inaugural Rotterdam Electronic Music Festival which was created with a simple idea by projecting a giant record/vinyl on the floor and produces music by running around its surface in the direction you want it to go. The speed of the record is determined by the speed of the person that is running. The Vinyl Workout has been installed at the Creators Series in New York and LA as well as the STRP festival in the Netherlands.
