An interactive digital video projection environment
1 interactive video projection, colour, silent 12 x 12 x 18 metres
This video projection was done onto the ceiling of the Dominakanerkirch (Dominican Cathedral) in Osnabruck, 18 metres above the heads of the viewers. The work uses remote visual sensing techniques to track the viewers position in the space. Each viewer was allocated an angel (or demon, depending on location) which followed on the ceiling the position of the viewer on the floor. The viewers actions control not only the behaviour of the angels/demons but also a large range of other images, which are dynamically composed on the ceiling. (source: http://www.littlepig.org.uk/)
