study: gesture | water | light

This project is a materials study for creating responsive environments. Projected video is used, not as a framed image object, but as illumination that is shaped by movement and gesture. The participant's actions are transformed into a breeze that disturbs the light as if it were a pool of water, offering a tactile visual experience.

Erik Conrad is an ACE graduate student in the School of Information and Computer Science. He has a M.S. in Information Design and Technology from the Georgia Institute of Technology where he worked with the Topological Media Lab, and a B.A. in Visual and Performing Arts, with a minor in 19th and 20th century Art History, from University of Maryland Baltimore County. His work addresses embodied thought through the design and anaylsis of dynamic media spaces that explore how people perceive, understand and navigate space. (http://www.peripheralfocus.net)
