THE_SPACE_BETWEEN_US
This project is a motion tracking installation which is a trigger for interaction between people.
Most new media communication systems today are channeled through the medium of written text, for example, email, chat, sms. Our bodies remain passive and the lack of non-verbal cues often leads to misunderstanding. In this installation, participants are encouraged to use their body to explore new ways of expression through new media and body language. This will create a responsive environment which has the potential to generate interaction. The system responds to physical movement, location, proximity, body structure and posture. These parameters will be collected in real time and then translated into an audio-visual language. The_space_between_us examines the instance of the computer as an agent for communication between people. It offers a playful experience which aims to bring people together and celebrate their non-verbal skills in communication. View video
