Interactive art / Kinect Research

Xbox Kinect idea

This video explains how to use a programme called nuicapture. I would need to buy an Xbox Kinect sensor and then download this programme and experiment if it is possible to make moving image which responds to viewers movements.

This website tells you how to use the Kinect sensor on the mac: https://creativevreality.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/setting-up-the-kinect-on-osx-el-capitan/

Interactive art research


Nervous Structure (field) 2012 by Annica Cuppetelli Cristobal Mendoza


Key points:

This piece of art above is more or less what I am interested in developing. The piece moves as the viewers interact with it, for example we see a woman moving her arms and the artwork responds as if it has been pushed by a gust of wind in that direction. 

"Notional Field is an interactive installation that consists of a wall-mounted sculpture containing hundreds of vertical and parallel lines made of elastic cord that are projected upon with a computer-generated, interactive animation of a similar number of lines. The motion of these projected lines is ruled by a simulation, which makes them act like soft ropes, and said motion is influenced by a viewer’s movements as interpreted by a computer that surveys the scene through a video camera... The piece revolves around the idea of interface, which is interpreted as the point of contact between two different entities, and is displayed in the work in several ways: between the viewer and the piece (a human/computer interface); between the real and the virtual (the physical structure and its relationship with the projected structure); between the foreground and the background (as the projection interferes with the sculpture)."

Reflections:
I would like to combine sculpture/ physical paintings and interactive projection within my own work.
