In “Arts and Computing” Course, our aim was to produce a project, which is nourishes by both arts and sciences. To do so, every year, equal number of arts and computer sciences students enroll to this class and work in pairs. Pairs were chosen blindly and I had a very specific project in mind, so I did my best to work alone. I achieved that, too; thanks to the fact that odd number of students enrolled that year. Usually the term projects are in 3D and complex, so I was so excited about trying something different and keeping it as simple as it gets.
Shadow Play is a project by which I tried to find a different approach to traditional shadow puppetry. My aim was to create a system that makes it possible for a single person to build the entire environment and the dynamic figures. Dynamic figures would be butterflies, which move autonomously in the environment and interact with the static shadows.
Shadow Play was completed in 2008 and it was accepted to Siggraph Asia 2008 as a sketch presentation in Arts and Robots session. Detailed information is available on the one abstract of the project.
Hundreds of people, interested in Shadow Play. No, just the Fast Forward session.
