Fruit Machine is an immersive audio-visual experience made for immediate and virtual enjoyment.

The installation begins with a visitor walking onto a marked spot to and have a photograph taken of their body. This portrait of reflected light information is chromatically averaged into a single color unit value. The value will be then emitted into an empty space as an audible tonal frequency and mirroring color frequency.

The tonal emitting unit is to also be equipped with an archive. As each tone is activated within the installation, it is archived. The interruption of a previous tone by each new visitor cleanses the room in silence and white light, until their personal tone is emitted. This sequence of interruption, including the rhythm of visitor frequency is collected for the purpose of generating melodic composition of tones. These visitor generated compositions will be archived and made accessible online.
