I am an active member of 3Dinteractivo goup who is a researching endeavor, looking for a deeper understanding of the relationship among art, science and technology. By working on new ways of expression and communications in Arts, the group works on art forms where sensorial and emotional experimentation and its interaction with the world are the most relevant matters.

3DInteractivo began in 2010 with a group of engineers and artists interested in experimenting with simulation software and 3D interaction. In a context where many artistic structures are under question, 3DInteractivo wants to vindicate the crucial role of Arts in the investigation of other ways of conceiving the world and building relationship between Humans and Virtual Systems.

Art generated by the public - The idea of experiencing

3DInteractive explores how audience interaction, gestures and emotions can transform the experience of art. Using sensors, facial expression recognition and artificial neural networks, its installations respond and adapt to spectators, making them active participants in the creative process. Projects such as __YES__NO generate real-time video mosaics from visitors’ movements, while CEP (Collective Emotional Perception) modifies projected images according to the audience’s collective emotional responses. By combining art, technology and machine learning, 3DInteractive creates environments that establish a dialogue between people and artworks, exploring how human perception and emotions shape collective visual experiences.
