Installation test demonstration.
The BBC asked the university department to propose and develop an interactive installation for the BBC’s part of the Manchester International Festival in 2011. The class was given the brief to design an interactive experience based on the ‘ZingZillas’ (a children’s musical television programme) targeted at an audience of children. The tutors would then assess each project and submit a single recommendation to the BBC.
My project titled ‘Harmoni’ uses a projector to project four symbols onto the ground: Drums, guitar, bass and vocals. When a person stands on one of these symbols (detected by a webcam), the musical track of the respective instrument plays through the speakers. If four people are stood on all four symbols, the complete ensemble for the track plays.
The installation was displayed at the UX&D Showcase at the BBC North Developing Talent Conference 2011 and later commissioned by the BBC for the Manchester International Festival 2011.
