follow their shadows



Another idea is to let the interactions between the users and the content to happen in a random way: when the user enters the stage, the word's clouds follow their shadows projected onto the ground.

An idea maybe to allow the users to get some blue clouds that will be projected onto the ground, moving all around, using gesture recognition in Processing. At the stage, there will be irregular boundaries holding each user’s body... like virtual, translucent clothes of words, forms and sounds...

(PG-9) Processing Gesture


Max Kazemzadeh // Assistant Professor building an Electronic Media Art Program in the University of North Texas School of Visual Arts. Kazemzadeh studies human interaction via the context and influence of constructed interfaces. Reflecting on interfaces as influencing and influenced-by language, identity, culture, and interaction. Kazemzadeh's installation experiences exist as relational kinetic environments that employ reappropriated materials, custom hardware and software, redirecting the viewer's attention from technology, commodity, and the art object to play, adaptation, and human interaction. He has exhibited nationally and internationally.

(PG-9)Processing Gesture is a site-specific interactive installation comprising of nine microcontrollers, tripods, sensors, motors, video cameras, pencils, coat hangars, sheets of drawing paper, a computer and projector.
