Project Description
An interactive installation using video, projection, motors and proximity sensors to explore privacy and provocation. A dancer is seen from all sides projected onto a cylindrical screen. As the viewer walks around the cylinder, the image follows them and changes angles to match the expectations of walking around a physical person. The immersive quality of the 360 degree video draws the viewer in even to invite closer inspection. However, at the discretion of the dancer, if the viewer gets too close she will shut it down.
