Description
- Motivation
I wanted to create an interactive piece that I might actually have a chance at finishing. I wanted to see if I could make object move on the screen by just using my body or shadow. I was influenced by Camille Utterback's "Text Rain" and wanted to see if I could make objects move within the screen using my body. In the same way, I wanted to allow the participant of this project to be able to move the objects around the screen and "create", in a way, their own art piece WITHIN my art piece.
- Interactive paradigm
I wanted to take the physical space and turn it into art studio where the artist can create their artwork. The user will be able to move blocks and other objects on the screen by using their shadow to carry them and place them. They will be creating their own individual art piece within my art project.
- Technical Description
I will use processing to create a program that will create objects on the screen that will react to the shadow or the image of the user. It can be carried by the user or pushed and placed into any position. I can use the webcam on the computer to capture the image and use the code to use the captured image and interact with it.
