Descriptions & Essays
Presence is a three beam interactive video projection installation commissioned for the Art Machine II exhibition at the Maclellan Galleries, Glasgow. It is composed of three screens using high resolution video projectors and three computers with a remote visual sensing system for viewer interaction. On the main screen are visible a number of actors who are individually interactive with the audience and with each other. Another screen features an enormous upside down shadow, whilst another is composed of a giant talking mouth. The piece uses object oriented and behavioural programming techniques.
