Delicate Boundaries
Delicate Boundaries is an interactive installation which explores the boundary between the digital and the physical world through the movement of small bugs on a computer screen. When a viewer touches the screen, the bugs appear to crawl out of the screen and onto their arm, an illusion created by a clever projection.
Delicate Boundaries is an interactive installation where human touch can dissolve the barrier of the computer screen. Using the body as a means of exchange, the system explores the subtle boundaries that exist between foreign systems and what it might mean to cross them. Lifelike digital animations swarm out of their virtual confinement onto the skin of a hand or arm when it makes contact with a computer screen creating an imaginative world where our bodies are a landscape for digital life to explore.
