A p5.js game responds to real time facial gestures and spatial behaviour, while Arduino-based touch interactions activate a series of glowing sculptural forms.
THE EXPERIENCE
Visitors interact with a digital environment through facial movement, spatial distance and physical touch. Their actions gradually transform the visual
world while activating the sculptural installation.
world while activating the sculptural installation.
Translucent parchment forms were built around embedded LEDs and Arduino based capacitive touch sensors. Exposed red wiring was intentionally
retained as part of the visual language, referencing a fragile nervous system.
INTERACTIVE SYSTEM
MediaPipe and Python track facial landmarks, proximity and movement in real time. p5.js translates these inputs into generative visuals, while Arduino
touch data is streamed through p5.serialserver to connect physical interaction with responsive light.
