PicassoMe is a fun as well as obscure installation swapping peoples eyes and mouths in a live video stream – cubist Picasso like faces arise on the screen and can get captured immediately.

Description

This in an application for a computers camera as well as for mobile devices. A Processing sketch is tracking the eyes and mouths of the people in front of the camera and swaps them constantly in a random fashion. On the video screen cubistic defragmented faces arise. Did you ever want to see through your boyfriends eyes or your mothers mouth? The more people are in front of the camera the more interesting are the group portraits. By hitting a key the image get saved. For the Winter Show I imagine an installation directly linked with a printer. The visitors could immediately print her favorite Picasso like picture for taking it away as an original souvenir of the Winter Show 2014.

Magdalena Kovarik, Songee Hahn

Build and feel the sounds while you play with colorful wooden blocks on an interactive mat!

Description

There are a bunch of colorful wooden blocks on the top of a felt mat. While you place, stack, and knock down those blocks, you can make countless combinations of sounds in your own ways. Several sensors are embedded inside of the felt mat, and each sensor generates different types of sounds. As you place more blocks, more sound will be added in harmonious ways. The felt mat is specifically designed to turn an everyday object – the felt mat- into an unexpected sound playground for those who participate.
