imagine the night sky
Our latest work is a pair of interactive projections commissioned by the Adelaide Festival Centre for an exhibition named ‘Imagine the Night Sky’ held in the Artspace Gallery. The exhibition is aimed at primary school children and explores stories from around the world relating to night and day, the sun, the moon and the stars.
The first projection was shadow-interactive and let viewers use their shadows to play a harp and jiggle the strings of two baboon ‘puppets’. The second projection was sound-interactive and let viewers control the flight of a bee or wake an owl by whistling or blowing into a microphone.
Imagine the Night Sky is open Tues-Sat 10am-3pm from 1st - 29th May 2010 at Artspace Gallery at the Adelaide Festival Centre. Free entry.

lantern la lumiere
On Friday night we finally got to see our two animations in the ‘Lantern La Lumiere’ project commissioned by Adelaide Fringe 09. Unfortunately the Rundle Lantern crashed soon after the launch of the project - and took 2 weeks to be fixed! But it was a big thrill to see our work on the huge digital canvas.
The ‘Lantern La Lumiere’ project asked 16 local Adelaide animators to create short works (up to 60secs) that attempted to convey narrative using the Rundle Lantern’s 68×21 pixels. This was a huge challenge! We were happy with our efforts (especially given that we had no way to test or fine-tune our work) and we learnt many lessons for future Rundle Lantern projects. Both animations suffered a loss of clarity and color - you can see the original input animation for ‘chase’ below.

We’re now past the half-way point of Fringe 09 and our exhibition of ‘the coded wall’ has attracted many visitors, some from as far away as France and Belgium. The small space in our studio is less than ideal for showing the work, but viewers are still having a lot of fun! Here are some photos of us setting up and testing the exhibition…
‘voronoi’ work-in-progress
we’re currently developing a new interactive projection using processing software. the piece uses adaptive ’voronoi’ meshing and bezier curves. here’s some footage of our early testing…

‘The Coded Wall’ is an interactive digital art project that explores new modes of live interaction made possible by combining high speed computing with a camera and projector. The work consists of a number of short dynamic projections which respond to shadows - so you can get in front of the projector and have a play!
The piece was originally exhibited during August 2008 in the Moving Image Gallery as part of the SALA Festival. The audience response was fantastic and we received a high commendation in the Bunka Moving Image Award.
‘The Coded Wall’ was built with proce55ing software and represents two months of collaborative work by Kirstin Wache and George Campbell at make&do studio.
