Motion: Connecting Body with Sound and Position, 2021 - 2022
An audience member’s motion through exhibit space triggers sounds and creates an artistic experience that provides an alternative understanding of being present and existing as a moving, hearing body in the gallery. This is facilitated through a program the artist coded. The program takes real-time motion data detected by an overhead web-camera and translated the motion data into controls for sound playback.
