W
and partners bring UK premier of txOom to the Hippodrome Circus Space in
Great Yarmouth.//:://:

txOom [textiles in bloom] is a responsive PlaySpace where wearable
architecture and evolving media worlds blend, engendering a rich and
multi-layered experience.
Participants will be able to create and influence their own audio-visual
landscapes as they tangle in textiles and literally wear and expand the
space through their movements and gestures, hence causing physical and
digital worlds to converge and stretch. Each player is sensed by the
playSpace using motion sensors and vision tracking systems incorporated int=
o
the fabric of the space. Gradually, the social interaction between the
participants, the responsive sound and visuals projected throughout the
PlaySpace will transform and grow.

In Great Yarmouth, an important part of the site specific environment is
being developed through interaction with local communities , involving
creative user workshops researching involvement, playfulness, creativity an=
d
learning in responsive environments. (in collaboration with SeaChange)
