ArTrace Interactive Installation
„summaery-oberlichtsaal-gallery.2019“
FAF Trade Fair 02.-05. Mar 2016 I Munich, Germany
This interactive installation allows visitors to participate in the creation of the displayed art, as an integrated motion sensor reads the visitors hand movement, and converts it into visual illustrations projected live on the inner surface of the installation for a unique exhibition experience.
Structure's Design Development:
The unique geometry of the structure was developed through a study of the light rays entering the Oberlichtsaal Gallery and their reflections on the inner surfaces of the space using computational architectural software "Grasshopper". Six main frames composed the structure. Each one had specific dimensions and shape, with custom made metal angular joints, that held the different elements together and preserved the geometry.
A prototype of two frames was realized in scale 1:2 to be displayed at the FAF trade fair 2016 in Munich, Germany.
An interactive installation that highlights the displayed art while maintaining a unique geometric identity!

Interaction Concept:
As for the installation's interactive part, a Motion sensor was used to trace visitors' hand movement, and transform it into visual light illustrations that were immediately projected and mapped on the inner surfaces of the installation, allowing the visitors to participate in the creation of the displayed art, instead of passively looking at it.
