Curious Place
Description:
The installation consists of a small screen that displays a generative design of plant-like shapes, attached to a network of sensors that allow it to use the immediate surroundings as raw material.
When a user approaches to see the display, a video tracking system is activated and a projection that expands the design is displayed on the body of the spectator. Thus, the space is altered once through interaction with the participant.
In this project, I am interested in two main subject:
1) the integration of environmental data as part of the system of rules governing the generative design.
2) the improbable encounter, the causality , which adds another layer of complexity, as the second participant completes the design.
A “curious place” then, is an exploration of how audiovisual technology can be used to transform, expand, amplify and interpret physical spaces.
