[spectre] "The Naïf garden" OUT NOW!

[Chiara Passa]

Dear friends & colleagues,

Hope this finds you well.
I'm glad to share with you my project "The Naïf garden" (from the
series 'digital art in public space' http://www.chiarapassa.it).
Interactive video mapping screening created especially for gardens and
forests 2012; realized demo 2013 at:
http://www.chiarapassa.it/thegardennaif.html

I built this enchanted garden basing myself on video-mapping
technique, using Quartz Composer programming language, as well as,
After Effects and MadMapper software.
Since an art festival takes place mainly in the dark, I thought about
turning a part of the garden in a sort of virtual and interactive
nocturne happening as a 'Live Painting', where the viewer is totally
protagonist and associated with the creative process of the artwork
itself, that is in constant transformation. In fact, through the
audience’s voices it is possible redesign a new atmosphere, that comes
alive through various digital patterns based on the "particle system"
swarming in the real garden, they show cells, viruses, multi-cellular
organisms, and various molecular forms.In the “Naïf Garden”, the
interactivity carries the people through an emotional and learning
journey where their subjectivity is put in question by the choices
they constantly make throughout the artwork’s layers.
The “Naïf Garden” is part of the project “Live Architecture”, a series
of site-specific interactive video installations and video mapping
projects, I thought them up and created them in order to reshape
architecture in public places, as well as interior environments and
natural landscapes into something vibrant and lively. A dynamic place
is always displayed within the multimedia installations - that's why I
called it "Live" – since it moves independently, beyond its
functionality.


Best regards, Chiara
