E4 MotionWall octubre 20, 2009

In 2007 the ImageRadio Festival invited me [Matthias Oostrik] to create an interactive installation for a high resolution Philips video wall. This resulted in the E4 MotionWall.

If no people were present near the wall it provoked the curiosity of the audience by showing a slowly moving color pattern (i later named the primordial soup) complimented by an atmospheric soundscape. When people approached the wall it came to live showing shadows of light and exclamating sounds of joy.

With many thanx to Tian Rotteveel for doing the beautiful sound design.

Funky Forest octubre 9, 2009

‘Funky Forest’ is an interactive ecosystem where children create trees with their body and then divert the water flowing from the waterfall to the trees to keep them alive. The health of the trees contributes to the overall health of the forest and the types of creatures that inhabit it. The Moomah Edition of ‘Funky Forest’ expands on the original by introducing four seasons each with a unique environment and creatures to match. Each season also features an interactive particle system. For example in Fall leaves falling from the trees blow in the wind and in winter it snows. The Moomah edition is permanently installed at the Moomah Children’s cafe in New York City.
