The piece uses a webcam to track any form of movement to displace particles. The letters of the Skive logo are broken up and forced to the edges of the participant's silhouette. This creates a chaotic outline as the pieces attempt to rush back into their original places to reform the letters. The springiness of the particles brings a fluidic motion to the animation which encourages play.

  • So that's just a basic webcam? Impressed. You were a bit ahead of the Kinect, eh?

  • @TheRichardAries Thanks but I wouldn't do as far as that. Frame differencing was used here. It's a technique that has been about for years.

  • wow! you have a cool media center..

  • Thanks although it's actually the meeting room at my workplace
