Ombea is an interactive installation, consisting of an empty room with 4 speakers, 4 light sources and 2 cameras, which are placed within a space which is at least partially isolated from light and sound coming from outdoors, provided with a lockable entrance; a computer is located outside the ombea space with max/msp/jitter patch which serves to direct the space reaction. Ombea reacts to movement of a visitor within the space depending on: [movement = dark + noise] or [calm = light + silence] and that reaction takes place on various levels depending on the history and behavior of a visitor and their position in the space. Common time spent inside is at least 8 minutes. Visitors leaving Ombea are asked to write down an e-mail address with promise of sending them a black-and-white diagram, named by pash* as protocol, depicting their behaviours. ...
... Ombea is what Russian conceptual artist Ilya Kabakov calls a total installation, a designed experience. We can't use here Kaprow's term environment because pash* isn't surrounding visitor by no intentional means. On the contrary pash* is not even closing the visitors in a room, he is just putting away the outer world; introducing them to the Construct blank virtual reality, a zero space.

Name it social media hack or Web 2.0 circuit bending, but above all the show refers to global performance of users building and enhancing their own web image setting thus a social mask and yielding a performance of it's kind.
