Hong Kong Self Portrait A shop window installation for the new Benetton store in the Causeway Bay shopping centre in Hong Kong, in collaboration with Andy Huntington. Based on earlier development at Fabrica by Ross Phillips, currently of SHOWstudio. Updates: some highlights from the installation in HK:
Users can press the touch sensor through the shop window from the street, taking a picture to add to the constantly playing animation. All images are available over FTP to administrators, allowing editing and injection of suprising and mischievious imagery into the animation. Hardware: Interface: (Main display) (Countdown displayed with live feedback when a touch is detected by the sensor) Example animation: (frame rate is currently around 8 frames a second in the actual installation) |
