AniSandbox


Anisandbox is an interactive installation comissioned by Carl Goodman for the Gameworld exhibition at Laboral centro del arte.
It is based on the Moviesandbox project as a modification of the game Unreal Tournament 2004.
Using a device called "Gametrak", visitors can animate a custom designed character just like a marionette. An additional guitar hero controller makes the second character in the background strum his guitar and the main character's feet start to dance. Different events can be triggered by performing distinct gestures - cameras switch and light effects fill the screen - to allow for your very own simple music video.

Concrete

A CAVE environment for the Ars Electronica ARSbox.
Commissioned by Ars Electronica for the Digital Transit exhibition at the MediaLab Madrid.
Computer-generated structures conduct visitors through a surreal urban space. The encounter with an overload of visual impressions and the user’s reaction to this lead to the gradual deconstruction of the content.
