MAX 6 / KINECT INTERACTIVE PROJECTION

Inviting, fleshy tones illuminate the wall, and the physical relationship between the projected colors and the viewer brings them into the space. As a person enters the frame, their body movement is detected by a motion-sensing camera (Kinect by Microsoft) recognized via inferred light. Their position within the frame is tracked on an X and Y axis, which outputs numbers in relation to their position on the screen. These numbers are attached to a jit.rota and control the amount of zoom, (...) of the video. The fleshy tones, upon the detection of one blob, split into a grid (4-up) displaying macro video of a human eye. The bodily relationship is now quite personal. As a second "blob" enters the camera's range, the (rota) is triggered to output an even closer look at the eyeball. While remaining personal by its now extremely zoomed in display, the content also exists in a state of disconnect from the viewer by increased pixelation.
