Analog In, Digital Out: Tiger

I’ve been increasingly interested in ways to incorporate multiple inputs from various sources and output a manifestaion of the variables in an interesting way digialy. Karolina Sobecka’s Wildlife project does a great job of executing this type of project. In Sobecka’s own words the website:

“At night projections from moving cars are shone on the buildings downtown. Each car projects a video of a wild animal. The animal’s movements are programmed to correspond to the speed of the car: as the car moves, the animal runs along it speeding up and slowing down with the car, as the car stops, the animal stops also. The framerate of the movie corresponds to the speed of the wheel rotation, picked up by a sensor. If the presence of a moving object (such as another car or pedestrian) is detected with proximity sensors, its animal “avatar” appears in the projection.”

Everyone should see this in action with the video here
