PLAYGROUND, childhood experiences and somatic memories. A playful exploration of the connection between the physical and digital worlds through this character-based interactive installation, in which the audience animates and deforms a group of interconnected characters through real-time physical interactions.
Languages and technologies: interactive character animation (digital puppetry) using sensors with TouchDesigner and Arduino, and sound design with Ableton.
