More Info
People can more effectively remember things if they place them within the context
of a space and/or narrative. This installation is an interactive game designed to
make the player memorise faces using this mnemonic technique.
This installation was developed in C# using .NET Framework 3.5.

Interactive Psychedelia (Psychedelia I)
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
More Info
This installation provides a fun and mesmerizing way for people to entertain and
express themselves. Overlapping circles of various sizes and bright colours are
projected on to a wall. These shapes gently float down from the top of the wall
continuously, producing a psychedelic display that is engaging yet soothing to watch.
However, more than just providing beautiful but unreactive visuals, through a video
camera mounted at the top of the wall people in front of the screen can also interact
with and change the display. Through bodily movement, individuals can displace the
circles from their downward trajectories and send them careening off in different
directions. Circles displaced in this manner leave brightly coloured trails behind
them before disappearing off-screen. Through repeated movements in front of the
screen, psychedelic shapes and patterns can be formed from the trails created by
the circles. After a set period of time the trails themselves fade out to provide
a blank slate so new patterns can be created, or so that the shapes will return
to simply floating down from the top of the wall.
This installation was created using Max/MSP (cycling74.com/products/maxmspjitter).
Aural Psychedelia (Psychedelia II)
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
More Info
This installation provides a colourful way of having fun and creating music ideally
in a large and dark exhibition space. The sound of a brisk draft draws people into
the cave-like interaction space, which features projected imagery on a screen. When
they move into the space, the sound of rushing air subsides allowing them to interact
with the screen through a camera mounted above it. Brightly coloured circles rain
down from the top of the screen which the users can displace through bodily movements,
to create mystical and alien musical notes which move through the space both aurally
and visually, before fading out. Depending on the position and trajectory different
musical notes are created allowing many different sounds. People who are not necessarily
musically inclined will be be able to unleash their innate creativity in an entertaining
way, and create their own alien soundtrack. When the users eventually leave the
exhibition space, the sound of rushing air returns, ready to draw the next set of
users in.
This installation was created using Max/MSP (cycling74.com/products/maxmspjitter).
