Elemental, Interactive audio-video installation, 2006

Elemental is an interactive media space where visitors are invited to commune with digital representations of the four elements. Participant's movements are tracked through the room with infrared sensors, feeding data into a computer, which in turn triggers off four different video loops which are all projected onto a single double-sided screen. Each video loop is of a different length, allowing endless interactive possibilities. As the layering of loops builds up as more participants enter the room, the projected imagery becomes more abstract and dynamic, while the soundscape gains depth. The screen can be viewed from two sides: the first displays the imagery as it is projected, while the other side filters the projection through a geometric pattern, focusing awareness on fundamental colours and movement. The computer software for this installation was written using MAX/msp.
