To present the concept of the Able Skin, Emilio López-Galiacho, in collaboration with Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Will Bauer have developed an interactive installation where participants are invited to walk trough a virtual space generated by hiding with the Skin Palladio´s Villa Rotonda, a stereotypical renaissance building in Vicenza, Italy.
In the installation a participant holds two small wireless 3D trackers that control a projected virtual environment, digital audio and robotic lighting projections. The two trackers describe a vector which is used as the point of view into the virtual world. As the participant waves his or her arms the world turns accordingly, as does the light projection on the floor. As the participant approaches the screen the world zooms it and, if the projected word "enlace" is crossed, eventually jumps into another panoramic node. |
