Symmetrie/Asymmetrie.
1982. Electronic object (two speakers in an electronic circuit). Mounted in white object box, 62 x 77 x 7cm. Verso titled, signed and dated: SYMMETRIE/ASYMMETRIE VOGEL 82.

The object is wired with a plug and fully functional. When supplied with power, the beholder hears a sequence of different notes which switch when the beholder moves in front of the object. The artist Peter Vogel counts to the pioneers of kybernetic object art. The artistical aspect of his works lies not in the outer appearance but in integrating the beholder and making him part of the object.
