Aura

Software artwork which reflects audience motion and emotion.

The audio-visual installation uses biometric sense technology to capture audience form and feelings which are represented in real time as colour-coded body contours. The work’s audio-visual form, being generated by audience activity, can shift from quiet to loud, depending on participant number and activity. The result is an emotional feedback loop between artwork and viewers.
