The Art of Simplicity

Interacting with virtual bubbles is quite simple… you just walk in front of the projector’s light beam and cast your shadow onto the projection screen. The bubbles will recognize this shadow and bounce off its outlines, at the same time emitting certain sound effects. Defined as autonomous objects, the bubbles’ behaviour and their response to any user-interaction follows a set of simulated physical laws. Both the overall state of the complex system and the shadows’ interaction with the bubbles create nonlinear musical structures, which are generated in real-time utilizing a midi interface and midi synthesizer.
