Bubbles. Interactive Video Installation at Lovebytes 2002.

The multi-user installation 'Bubbles' enables participants to interact with the real-time simulation of floating bubbles. By entering the light beam of the data projector, the participant throws a cast-shadow onto the projection screen. The screen area is captured by a video input system and each bubble is able to independently recognise both the shadows' touch and its direction.

Defined as autonomous objects, the bubbles' behaviour and their response to any user-interaction follows a set of simulated physical laws. Both the overall state of the complex system and the shadows' interaction with the bubbles create non-linear musical structures, that are generated in real-time utilising a midi interface and midi synthesiser.
