In this installation YesYesNo teamed up with The Church, Inside Out Productions and Electric Canvas to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground. Our job was to create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall.

We used 3 different types of interaction - body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There were 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public.

We had a great deal of fun making this, hope you enjoy it too.

    Looks great. Congrats guys. The hand interaction and ensuing building wobble was a real double take moment.
  • Kyle McDonald plus 2 years ago
    This was one of the last scenes to be developed. It was fairly straightforward to write, but it super engaging to experience! code.google.com/p/projectknave/source/browse/#svn/trunk/development/centralApp/src/scenes/WarpScene

    ah kyle brings up a good point, the source code for the whole project, full of all kind of funky last minute hacks and demos, is up at:

    Great to see you've released the code. Cudos. I'll certainly have a look through it once I get started with OF next month.

    Very nice project. Reminds me of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's "Relational Architecture." Is Todd Vanderlin now officially part of YesYesNo? I thought he was still at Arnold.
  • zach lieberman plus 2 years ago
    hey thanks! RLH's work was a really big inspiration for us. Todd's still at ardnold, but they were kind enough to let him come to NZ for a few weeks to collaborate with YYN.
