Ephemer

This is an interactive generative audiovisual installation for computer, video projector, sound system, kinect camera and laser pointers. It is based on a simulation of ephemeral organic creatures. The behavior of these creatures, so called ephemers, is translated into sound. The ephemers move according to fictional nature inspired forces across the projection plane and leave trails behind. Ephemers and their trails both fade slowly into nothing. It’s a reflection on the ephemeral nature of life. Visitors can draw these ephemers  using laser pointers onto the canvas.
