We are building an interactive A-life sculpture, that is:
a ring of four speakers will surround the circular form of the sculpture itself
an overhead camera will track the movement of people around the sculpture
the expression (behaviour) of the artwork depends on the behaviours and choices of
those engaged with it
the agents are represented as clusters of light visible through fibre optic cables that transmit
from custom LED printed circuit boards
the observer becomes an interactant, and the interactant becomes a cocreator:
the process of engaging with the installation results in a co-construction of the artwork (and
of the artwork's meaning)
the experience of the work is different for each participant, and many facets of the work are not
immediately available, but appear during the time spent with it.
