[046] Frame Seductions

Frame Seductions explores the concept of looking outside of the video frame by tracking the head movements of people in front of the screen. Only a static but very seducing image can be seen from the distance but as visitors come nearer and turn their head to the left or to the right the perspective of the video on the screen automatically follows their gaze, enabling them to access material that would otherwise be outside of the filming frame. Viewers can this discover quirky scenarios lurking in the sidelines: characters appear in several places at once, exit through doors to reappear elsewhere and sometimes give the viewer or each other quizzical looks.

The work turns the light setting into a organism that can both live on its own or interact with spectators when they enter the roon. When viewers are outside the active tracking area, the system dialogue with the space by extruding and morphing sequences of geometric light forms. As soon as visitors enter the projected light-space, a collective and participatory expression of space unfolds.

[039] Power Laces- the Auto lacing shoe

You may remember v1.0 of Bevin’s sneakers, an early version of the Nike boots worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2, with an external Arduino-controlled motor that only a geek could love. V2.0 is now ready, and all the components (servos) have been hidden inside for a way cooler shoe. Take a look at the video. The money-shot is at the end:
