Interactive installations are artworks capable of responding to the presence and actions of the audience in real time. They use technologies such as motion sensors, cameras, tracking systems or artificial intelligence to detect what is happening around them and modify the behaviour of the work.
In this way, a person’s movement can transform a projection, activate specific elements, or alter the sound, lighting or images of the installation.
Examples of Interactive Installations at Technarte
Interactive installations have been part of Technarte’s journey both within its conferences and through projects developed directly in collaboration with artists and organisations. Here are some examples:
Akane Hiraoka, a new media artist, took part in the latest edition of Technarte with Quantum Consciousness, an interactive installation that combines technology and an immersive experience to explore new ways of relating to people and digital systems.
Nick Moser and Robb Pope, set and lighting designers, presented Digital Interactive Placemaking at Technarte 2020. The project explores how lighting, LEDs, sensors and different control systems can transform a space and create environments that respond to people’s presence and actions.
Finally, we would like to mention our collaboration with Biopus on an installation based on motion detection and interactive mapping, in which technology generates a visual response to visitors’ actions.
