Words of the Jury: “Very good exploratory exercise about a possible interactive community, sometimes the huge ambition of ideas (electric, spatial flux) are beyond what has been expressed graphically. It’s a very stimulating trigger to the imagination of the viewer”
“This piece searches to bond one of the key axis I considered essential with the code/tool: to make data move beyond the screen, and therefore use the human body as interface. One of the key aspects too is the way it tries to involve emotional/sensitive aspects for the viewer/spectator.”Even though all of the projects are very interesting indeed, this last one went beyond the traditional interaction exercises made with Processing”.
