Reflective and......reflect

What attracted you to this piece of interactive art in the first place?
- I was attracted to the interaction between the dancers' movement and the virtual background at the back of they, besides that the lightning also increase the interactivity between the background and the people who interacting with it.

How did you feel when you first saw this interactive art?
- I was impressed by the lightning system and how they play with the light to create the animation and also i realize that there is more than one way to create the art instead of straight forward method which is drawing. What i felt the most is the inspiration that motivated me to do better than what i can now.

What element/s made this interactive art successful in engaging you?
- The major factor that help me to immerse into this video is the light animation which is stunning and at the same time elegant which open my heart to it, besides that the music also play an important part to help me to create the mood to immersed into it.

What was the 'wow' factor for you?
- The wow factor that impress me the most is the climax of the video which involved the so called animated eclipse, it not just create an impact but it at the same time show how beautiful light art is. This particular climax also create meaning to the whole video.

If there is one thing that you want to add to this interactive artwork, what would it be?
- I wish to add in more music to create varieties and involved more dancers to create even more stunning effect to the video so that it can create an unforgettable memories to the audience.

Interactive Art (Eclipse Blue)

"Eclipse/Blue" 

The interactive art that i chose as my subject is one of the project made by one professional group called "The Creators Project" which consist of multiple group from all around the world, the video i choose is a music video which consist of interactive art.

Below is the official video for the interactive art:

From the video above, we can see that the video use the interactive wall as the medium to interact with the dancers. There is the element of art and at the same time there is technology which exist to support the art. The creators group create the wall which use the neon light and shadow to create art and also through coding they form this wall of art.

Here is the photo of the those who involved and the group who created it:

And they are supported by the group called "The Creators Project" who served to created the wall which can capture the movement and create dynamic impact with color light.

How it work:

They use point grey high speed camera which track and at the same time capture the dancer movement, later they beamed the light on the dancer. The group also use the dynamic virtual wall which create the visual impact that make people immersed into the video. They use projection of light to create the movement and animation and at the same time use the music to support the visual experience.
