From "Interactive Generative Formations" to "Interaction with Technological Organism"

Abstract

The installation "Interacting with a technological organism" is a natural consequence of two previous interactive projects, namely "Interactive Generative Formations" and "Virtual Arena". The most significant difference is that for the first two projects, the events occur on a two-dimensional plane on which images are projected. The aesthetics of the objects are specified in advance, and the movement of the spectators, which are participators as well, is captured by a sensor. In this way, observers change the look of dynamic images, becoming an active part of their aesthetics. With the project "Interaction with a technological organism", we leave the area of two-dimensional and move into three-dimensional space. The space in which the events take place is sized: 500x500x350 cm. During discussions, the authors came up with the idea to imitate a living organism that reacts to approaching.
