This is an interesting interactive digital art piece that is a different spin on the many gesture-driven video walls we’ve all seen demo’d at trade shows.
Called Liminal, it is an interactive exhibition by Montreal-based artist Louis-Philippe Rondeau that involves people passing through what amounts to a portal that uses image capture tech to relay a distorted visual on a video wall to the rear, in real or very near real time.
The piece has been shown at numerous events across at least 10 countries, and there’s a variation of it being shown at a “Light Festival” in Singapore.
Here’s a video of one of the exhibits …
And here’s another from a site featuring Rondeau’s work …
I kinda like this because it doesn’t, like a lot of the camera-based gesture set-ups, somewhat require people to perform. Extroverts are all over things that ask them to dance or act silly, but a lot of other people would steer well clear of that. With this, set up the right way, it can be interesting just by walking through.
