Martin Rieser is a expert of Digital Creativity
in the Institute of Technologies.
By seeing his background (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Rieser) and art works, include early works from 1990s in his personal website, and
recent project called songlines (2010). I realize he is a
"fashion" person, because he can always find the new technology
things and doing some interesting works with them.
Compare with Hemmer, I guess they got their
ideas in different ways. I think when Rieser saw something new then think about
do some works with it, and when Hemmer interesting in a idea, he think about is
it valuable to work on with and find the technology to achieve it. However, it
is not 100% to identity their mind, because human's minds are more complex.
What am I trying to say is they are different people, they may think
differenly, and both ways of they achieve their ideasare helpful for me to
confirm my idea.
There is a work
Rieser designed in 1988 called Electronic Forest.

Interactive sound devices based on "Soundbeam" were ceiling mounted and as an audience passed among the panels they triggered stored recordings of Rainforest sounds. Because the device was based on ultra sound detection, variations in visitor height would change the pitch and duration of emmitted sounds
It was first shown in the Autumn of 1991 at Prema Arts Centre in Dursley and later in the Old Bull Arts Centre in London.
It was then sponsored by Photobition who processed 12 foot by 8 foot colour panels, which were shown at the Exploratory Hands on Science Centre in Bristol in 1992. Apple Computer sponsored an early internet link to GreenNet which gave information on the habitat crisis in Brazil. A Hypercard stack was also produced to run in parallel with the internet information.
