LOL VISION v1
Description: an audience-driven artwork where audiovisual clips are triggered by body poses. This interactive installation provides for real time full body-detection of two audience members simultaneously. With their bodies transposed side by side into the video artwork, they are able to trigger video clips using particular poses or dancing until a video clip is serendipitously discovered. The audience itself becomes the remote control of this video mashup.
Materials: Projectors, laptop, iPad, Kinect camera
Exhibition: Videodrome
Location: Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA), Toronto, Canada

Earth Catcher
Description: an interactive street game designed to give everyone the chance to save the world! Earth catcher is projected onto buildings and involves a virtual earth that the audience interacts with, with their own bodies. The aim is to hold it steady for ten seconds without letting it fall. Animations introduce each player. Winners are congratulated with happy animations exploding onto the screen.
Materials: data projectors, laptop, Kinect camera, custom software

Digital Protesting
Description: an installation which identifies human bodies and projects placards onto them, following them as they move. This was created for a public event hosted by Amnesty International, to raise awareness of human rights violations in mining communities. The artwork is projected onto the protestors themselves to highlight the human element in human rights. This installation raises the question: ‘if a computer can recognize a human, why can’t a corporation?’
Materials: data projector, laptop, Kinect camera, custom software
Client: Amnesty International Canada
Event: We Are All Shareholders 2012

You Are Swan
Description: an interactive street game controlled by full body movement. The system runs customized 3D video game software. Competing players use their entire bodies to control the direction of two black swans as they float along a river trying to avoid rocks. The player to travel the furthest, without hitting a rock, wins. Designed for this location, the game takes place above a decorative pond.
