Melt is an interactive installation that reacts to the movement of the visitors through its kinetic surface. The Brazilian collaborative duo Cantoni Crescenti develops innovative works worldwide that explore complex environments and interact with the surrounding space. At Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord, Rejane Cantoni and Leonardo Crescenti present Melt: a 70 meter long walk-in installation under one of the abandoned blast furnaces. The artwork with its mirroring surface pictures the impressive industrial architecture of the former ironworks in a constantly changing manner.

Melt consists of 50 aligned and polished aluminum plates held by nearly 2.000 steel springs. Visitors interact with the installation as well as with each other: In function of the direction and force of the steps and of the body weight, the plate stepped upon inclines, thereby moving the entire structure.

Interacting visitors emit and receive signals, provoke audio-visualtactile transformations, establish reciprocal relations and translate the dynamics of others into own movements. Viewed from outside, multilayer light reflections depending on the influence of the interacting visitors interfere with the architecture of the Landscape Park Duisburg Nord, thus creating a permanently unique image.

Urbane Künste Ruhr is the new art organization in the cultural metropolis Ruhr and realizes art projects in the urban space succeeding the European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010. Urbane Künste Ruhr risks a new perspective on the Ruhr Area, the city in general, and the possibilities of art.
