SENSOR SYSTEM
MYSTICAL COMPUTER ENVIRONMENTS
A Mystical, interactive, aesthetic, computer experience.
The Sensor System was used as part of Padgett’s artist-in-residency at Loughborough University with the C&CRS for COSTART, partly funded by the EPSRC Grant GR/M14517 Studies of Computer Support for Creative Work, Artists and Technologists in Collaboration.
8 sensors are located on each side of a 365cm x 365cm frame at 30cm high. The frame is in front of a screen 245cm wide and 180cm high. One person rotates the shape and chooses the colour, one person walks in the frame and extrudes smaller basic shapes.
When people move in the installation squares are generated in the axis they move. Rotation is added and intergalactic patterns result.
This interactive work breaks down the subject/object dualisms as the participant is also the work. Participants move around a sensor system to produce moving abstract designs that are purely aesthetic and join 2D design with a 3D, mystical, inner space.
