Etaernus - collaboration with Tohm Judson

Animation/installation/sound/composition by Tohm Judson

An interactive animation/sound installation.

A collaborative project between Tohm Judson and Karola Luttringhaus. A dancing tree: By stepping in front of a camera, which is linked to a program that maps a person's movements and translates them to the branches and trunk of a tree, that person can influence the tree's movements or position. The  animation was also sound sensitive and Tohm's intricate and ethereal musical composition changed with the person's movements. The animation encourages people to move in creative ways, while distracting them from being too self conscious.

Premiere 2011 at SECCA, Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC.
