The Blob
Generative Media Coding
Authors
Is the viewer of an art piece the only one entitled of having the right to examine, perceive and react to the artwork?
The blob is a concept work of an interactive piece. The blob in the piece lives its own life in the middle of the image, but when a viewer approaches the screen, the blob is attracted by the viewer.
The piece would ideally be projected on a wall with a near-throw projector or rear projected on a large canvas. The viewer is detected and followed with a Kinect – depth camera. The code is running on OpenFrameworks C++.
The work is based and inspired by a Processing/Java example by José Lozano @ Generative Hut.
