Güvenç Özel is an architect, researcher and artist, who has been preoccupied with creating responsive environments, some with emotive control. His Morphogram work proposal for a quadrocopter actuated surface/roof responding to human form, movement, sound and emotions (EEG). It is a responsive environment bordering on being a wearable.
Although the visual feedback of the surface is there, I wonder if this would come into play when considering the activation of the body schema.
Daniel Rozin artworks are centered around the mirror image.
In Penguin Mirror (2015) 450 stuffed penguins on rotating motors are situated on the gallery floor, offering a binary mirror image of any spectator in front of the penguin colony. Beyond being a feat of mechanical control and translation of Kinect data, I am wondering if this work stimulates reflection around one owns body image, beyond the aspect of play.
A similar work is the IRIS installation by the new media collective HYBE, where the ambient light from the spectator is translated into a matrix of 400 monochrome LEDs making the mirror image. Each LED consists of a liquid crystal fluid, which change color from white to black (circles opening and closing) dependent on the amount of light.
