Game inspired by the work of Sonja and Sen in their wetland in Kawakawa New Zealand.\nWetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on the planet. They filter water, protect against floods, provide habitat, and storing far more carbon per area than forests.\nWetlands are the Earth\u0026rsquo;s natural carbon sink. They cover just 6% of the Earth\u0026rsquo;s land but store 30% of terrestrial carbon.\nDespite their importance, wetlands are disappearing faster than almost any other ecosystem.

I could see in the physical intensity of their postures how rapt the kids inside were. It was like one of those closed systems out of a Pynchon novel: a feedback loop with photons coming off the screens into the kids’ eyes, neurons moving through their bodies, and electrons moving through the video game.“ William Gibson, author of “Neuromancer” und inventor of the term Cyberspace\nFeedback is a mechanism, process or signal that is looped back to control a system within itself. In systems containing an input and output, feeding back part of the output so as to increase the input is positive feedback (regeneration); feeding back part of the output in such a way as to partially oppose the input is negative feedback (degeneration).\nPaidia Laboratory examines computer games as closed feedback systems.

Using data from environmental sensors of the Weather Tunnel Project, Blind Spots projects images into which that data has been inscribed while at the same time trying to systemize and hence “understand” the data and their history by means of statistics.\nThe Solar Wind Periscope is an optical instrument to watch space weather: it makes visible the solar wind’s influence on the ionosphere. To do so, it listens to a global network of HAM radio stations called WSPRNET. From this network, the locations of the stations that currently reach the Weather Tunnel in Beijing are obtained. Since HF radio bounces off the ionosphere if solar wind conditions are appropriate, HF signal range correlates with solar wind conditions and the radio receiver can be used to listen into space weather. The results of this process are fused with the image of a rotating camera, yielding an image of the local surroundings of the Weather Tunnel in conjunction with space weather above.\nThe Weather Tunnel Project is a global initiative that is part of the Translife Triennial at the National Art Museum of China. It is “envisioned as a translocal, participatory, interventionist component of the international media art exhibition” and collects pieces that deal with climate, weather and environmental issues. It is organized by Tshingua University (China) and brings together projects from Tshingua University, KHM, Arizona State University (USA), Art Center Nabi (South Korea) , Curtin University (Australia), Parsons The New School for Design (USA) and V2_lab (Netherlands).\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/archive/weather-tunnel-project-translife-triennial/","summary":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://pixelsix.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011-07-25-13.22.44-e1311781007228-900x465.jpg\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuly 27th - August 17th, 2011, National Art Museum of Chia, Beijing,\u003c/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"http://mediartchina.org\" title=\"http://mediartchina.org\"\u003ehttp://mediartchina.org\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of the \u003ca href=\"http://tasml.parsons.edu/weathertunnel/\"\u003eWeather Tunnel Project\u003c/a\u003e at \u003ca href=\"http://mediartchina.org/\"\u003eTranslife Triennial\u003c/a\u003e in Beijing, China, two works from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne are shown:\n\u003ca href=\"http://kunst.khm.de/forschung/weather-tunnel/blind-spots/\"\u003eBlind Spots\u003c/a\u003e by Susanna Schoenberg and the \u003ca href=\"http://kunst.khm.de/forschung/weather-tunnel/solar-wind-periscope/\"\u003eSolar Wind Periscope\u003c/a\u003e by \u003ca href=\"http://interface.khm.de/index.php/people/doctoral-candidates/lasse-scherffig/\"\u003eLasse Scherffig\u003c/a\u003e and me.\u003c/p\u003e\n","title":"Weather Tunnel Project, Translife Triennial"},{"content":"3D-Festival BEYOND, March 27-29th\nZKM, Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Lorenzstr. 17-19, D-76135 Karlsruhe E-Mail: info@beyond-festival.com Telefon: +49 (0)721 / 8100 600\nArtists: Olivier Arcioli, Philipp Artus, Camilo Colmenares, Jan Goldfuss, Valerie Götz, Jonas Hansen, Katja Harms, Jun Park Hyung, E.

Besides revealing the latest productions and trends of stereoscopic film in cinema and television as well as 3D-gaming, beyond showcases innovations in the field of space-projecting media, artistic installations and performances. In connection with acoustic projections, space becomes tangible for all our senses.\nThe artworks presented by LabD (Prof. Zil Lilas, Jonas Hansen), Atelier für mediale Gestaltung (Prof. Andreas Henrich, Olivier Arcioli) and -1/MinusEins / Experimentallabor (Prof. Mischa Kubal und Martina Mrongrovius) use light to blur the materiality of the surface. Each installation plays on different aspects of perception to produce an augmented, ephemeral and sometimes haunted sense of dimensions. In 3 DAYS OF DIMENSIONS, the festival will present the history of stereoscopic techniques and their potential of display. Additionally, 360° projections, holographic and laser technology are a part of the festival’s rich spectrum whose objective is to bring together technology, disciplines, and human beings in an equal measure.In addition visitors can gather information on current developments in the realm of consumer devices and marvel at what the future has in store for the entertainment, engineering, and education cosmos.\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/archive/412/","summary":"\u003ca href=\"http://pixelsix.net/?p=318\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://pixelsix.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/ExpandedCity_01-657x318.jpg\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3D-Festival BEYOND, March 27-29th\u003c/strong\u003e","title":"KHM @ Beyond Festival"},{"content":"Rube-Goldberg-Lauf-der-Dinge-Electronic-Circuit-Feedback-Machine\nThe installation couples a number of computer games, controllers and physical artifacts into a self playing machine.

The book provides a link between the virtual school and the mobile school; it also functions as an anchor point for future research projects, and as an aesthetic package for the available documentary material. The projects introduced in the book — whether a drawing, a map, photographs, or a text — were delivered by the authors themselves, edited and assembled together with an eye on readability from multiple perspectives. The book is divided into three sections: Migrating: Art: and Academies:. Following these is a compendium of contributor’s biographies and finally, included with the book is a postcard containing a keyword index, the use of which is described below.\n//migaa.eu\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/publications/laboratory-v-migratingartacademies-isbn-978-9955-854-91-3/","summary":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMigrating:Art:Academies:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by EESI, European School of Visual Arts, KHM, Academy of Media Arts Cologne, VDA, Vilnius Academy of Art.\nOcto­bre 2010, ISBN: 978-9955-854-91-3\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe content of this book is the result of the two years Migrating Art Academies (MigAA) project led by European School of Visual Arts (EESI, FR), the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne (KHM, DE), and the Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA, LT).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to papers, articles, essays about the academic strategies and practicies it documents numerous art works realized by MigAA participants, several of them I supported during the laboratories in Berlin, Vilnius, Linz and Bordeaux/Gironde .\u003c/p\u003e","title":"Migrating:Art:Academies:, 2010"},{"content":"\nFrom 16th till 19th of August two of my games (CollecTic \u0026amp; Thumbs Down) will be presented at the PLATINE festival in Cologne.\nPLATINE festival focuses on electronic media, covering the realm from art statements up to alternative gaming forms.

That resulted in the first public user test of a project called Exercise in Immersion 4 during the Dutch Electronic Art Festival 2007 (DEAF07).\nAfter this presentation they went on refining the system and invited three artists-in-residence. They where chosen to explore various sub topics: Marnix de Nijs (NL) will continue his Exercise in Immersion 4 project, Boris Debackere (BE) researches spatial sound, and my focus was on 3D and visual aspects of augmented reality. In the fall of 2008, a series of workshops will be given, open to (art) students, artists and other professionals who are interested in artistic use of augmented reality.\nThe system V2_Lab has developed a software/hardware platform called VGE (V2_ Game Engine), based on Ogre3D with Scheme, OpenAL, Blender, ultrasound positioning and SIOS (Sensor Input/Output System developed at V2_Lab). The user wears a head-mounted display that shows a mix of 3D visuals and real world video taken by a head mounted camera.\nWithin this framework, I developed two small experimental projects during my residency. Inspired by the novel ‘Through the looking glass’ by Lewis Carroll, I wanted to create a dreamlike mixed reality environment, where real and virtual merge in an absurd experience. An important aspect for me was the connection between the virtual and the real elements.\nLast Pawn\nIn Last Pawn, a real table with a chess pawn stands in the middle of the room. Around the table are three virtual windows hanging in the air and a virtual avatar stands in the middle of the room. When the participant moves the pawn on the table, the avatar walks to a position in space. If the avatar ends up in front of a window, he opens it and a new virtual space appears behind it. Like this, different spaces and atmospheres can be experienced. Additional real theater light is controlled by the system to support the experience.\nHuman Sandbox\nThe second project Human Sandbox was developed as a side experiment. Here, one participant equipped with the AR-system stands in the middle of the room, while another participant places several physical objects on the table. They track and manipulate the virtual objects seen by the other participant. With this system we were able to test and experiment with different objects much easier. An interesting result with this approach was that game logic could be developed without having to program it. You could play ‘Hide and Seek’ , just by putting and moving objects on the table.\nJonas Hansen concept, design and developing\nwith great support from:\nNora Hansen Jan Misker (V2_ Lab, Project Managment) Jelle van de Ster (V2_ Lab, VGE Game Engine Development) Stock (V2_ Lab, OSC DMX Development)\nlinks V2 Project description \u0026lsquo;Better than Reality\u0026rsquo; workshop\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/projects/v2-ar-residency/","summary":"\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 2008 I did an artist in residency at \u003ca href=\"http://v2.nl\"\u003eV2_lab\u003c/a\u003e about augmented reality.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years ago \u003ca href=\"http://v2.nl\"\u003eV2_lab\u003c/a\u003e started developing the first version of an augmented reality system in collaboration with the artist Marnix de Nijs (NL).

If you are interest about augmented reality you should check out his website, he made a nice overview of all different kinds of developments within Augmented Reality. To read the interview go to link or keep reading here:\nIn my pursuit of the ultimate augmented reality game, Jonas Hansen (*Hielscher) popped on my radar. Jonas recently completed a residence at the Better Than Reality project for artists at the V2_Lab. I couldn’t resist asking him about his experience. Here are the results of the discussion.\ngames alfresco: Hey Jonas, thanks for taking a break from your art and joining us for a quick conversation; how about a quick introduction? Jonas: Hi Ori, thanks for your interest in my work!\nAbout me: I am a German artist, working as an assistant professor at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne in the field of 3D and interaction. In my artistic work I develop experimental games and media installations that explore the boundaries between the real and the virtual world (portfolio)\nThis year, my specific focus lays in exploring the possibilities of augmented reality. At the beginning of this year I gave an augmented reality game workshop at Mediamatic in Amsterdam, together with Julian Oliver. There we helped the participants develop small game ideas with ArtoolKit: a software library for building Augmented Reality applications using physical tracking markers.\nMediamatic Workshop\nBack in Cologne, my students at the Art Academy were so enthusiastic about the results, that they also developed a small ArtoolKit project for the annual school exhibition.\nCologne Art Academy School project\nAnd now I just finished 6 weeks of intensive work with the Augmented Reality system, they developed in V2_lab, Rotterdam.\nV2_Lab Residency: Last Pawn\ngames alfresco: Tell us a little bit about the Better Than Reality project, how did it start? What was its objective? Jonas: Two years ago V2_lab started developing the first version of their augmented reality system in collaboration with the artist Marnix de Nijs (NL). That resulted in the first public user test of a project called Exercise in Immersion 4 during the Dutch Electronic Art Festival 2007 (DEAF07).\nAfter this presentation they went on refining the system and invited three artists-in-residence. They where chosen to explore various sub topics: Marnix de Nijs (NL) will continue his Exercise in Immersion 4 project, Boris Debackere (BE) researches spatial sound, and my focus was on 3D and visual aspects of augmented reality. In the fall of 2008, a series of workshops will be given, open to (art) students, artists and other professionals who are interested in artistic use of augmented reality.\nThe system V2_Lab has developed a software/hardware platform called VGE (V2_ Game Engine), based on Ogre3D with Scheme, OpenAL, Blender, ultrasound positioning and SIOS (Sensor Input/Output System developed at V2_Lab). The user wears a head-mounted display that shows a mix of 3D visuals and real world video taken by a head mounted camera.\nWithin this framework, I developed two small experimental projects during my residency. Inspired by the novel ‘Through the looking glass’ by Lewis Carroll, I wanted to create a dreamlike mixed reality environment, where real and virtual merge in an absurd experience. An important aspect for me was the connection between the virtual and the real elements.\nIn the first project, Last Pawn, a real table with a chess pawn stands in the middle of the room. Around the table are three virtual windows hanging in the air and a virtual avatar stands in the middle of the room. When the participant moves the pawn on the table, the avatar walks to a position in space. If the avatar ends up in front of a window, he opens it and a new virtual space appears behind it. Like this, different spaces and atmospheres can be experienced. Additional real theater light is controlled by the system to support the experience.\nThe second project Human Sandbox was developed as a side experiment. Here, one participant equipped with the AR-system stands in the middle of the room, while another participant places several physical objects on the table. They track and manipulate the virtual objects seen by the other participant. With this system we were able to test and experiment with different objects much easier. An interesting result with this approach was that game logic could be developed without having to program it. You could play ‘Hide and Seek’ , just by putting and moving objects on the table.\ngames alfresco: what was your first encounter with augmented reality? Jonas: During the ARS Electronica Festival 2004, I saw several augmented reality projects. One very interesting piece was Augmented Fish Reality by Ken Rinaldo. Instead of augmenting the reality of a human, Ken augments the reality of a fish. Here, five Siamese fighting fishes are living in separated rolling robotic fish-bowls controlled by the fish themselves. The fish can steer the fish-bowl and come closer to other fish. They can see and communicate with each other, but always have to stay in their own fish-bowl. It is fascinating to watch and observe the fish’s behavior. You could say they were augmenting their own reality.\ngames alfresco: in the future, AR is poised to have a major role in the way we interact with the world; what does it mean for the future of art? Jonas: In our high technological western world with ubiquitous computing and the so-called “Internet of Things”, where RFID and other embedded applications are part of our daily environment, we can question if we already live in augmented realities. The augmentation of reality has become invisible through all kinds of services, like for mobile phones or our biometric passports.\nI think, one goal of artists working with these technologies should be to make things visible again. So that the effect of it can be reflected and discussed.\ngames alfresco: AR seems to get more and more attention in the art world, what do you think has captured the imagination of artists? Jonas: I think one major fascination is to be able to directly manipulate the experience of the real world to comment, reflect or just create new mixed reality experiences. It is also the fascination about the ability to give more information about people, objects and places, that would be normally concealed by their static structure.\ngames alfresco: More and more AR demos are surfacing in YouTube and elsewhere; what’s your favorite augmented reality demo? Jonas: Definitely, Julian Oliver’s game Levelhead. It is the beauty of a simple but very genius idea. In the game the player holds a solid cube in front of a camera and on-screen it appears that each face of the cube contains a little room. The objective of the game is to navigate a character from room to room by tilting the cube. It is the little magic of holding this small universe in your hands, that really fascinates me.\ngames alfresco: what would be your dream augmented reality device (way to interact with AR)? Jonas: During my residency I noticed, that I am not a fan of head-mounted displays. It is always the lack of technology you experience (small Field of View, Frame Rate, heavy equipment, etc.). With HMD you feel somehow amputated by giving up your perfect view of your eyes and diving completely into the augmented reality. Personally I belief more in the idea of having a window (like a small hand-held) to the augmented world. Then you are free to choose and compare between the real and augmented world.\ngames alfresco: Totally agree. As you are winding down the residence at Better than Reality - what are you envisioning as your next project? Jonas: At the moment I have lots of new ideas and inspirations. I have some new ideas for the game CollecTic, that I developed in 2006. I really want to develop a new and different version of it for the iPhone, which I think is a really great platform to develop mobile mixed reality projects for. The initial idea of CollecTic is, that you go hunting for Wifi-Hotspots in your neighborhood and play a kind of a puzzle game. What I really like about the game is that you discover the hidden infrastructure of the wireless network coverage through playing. The game also generates auditive and visual feedback of the hot spots. So hopefully I’ll find some time to give the game another boost for the iPhone with some new gameplay ideas.\nFurthermore I have some new ideas about other augmented reality projects, but they are still on the cooking pan games alfresco: Wow. Thank you, Jonas. This has been an eye-popping-mind-blowing interview. Can’t wait to see your video documentation of the Better Than Reality project.\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/publications/better-than-reality-interview/","summary":"Ori Inbar from \u003ca href=\"http://gamesalfresco.com/\"\u003eGames Alfresco\u003c/a\u003e (a Blog In Pursuit of the Ultimate Augmented Reality Game) interviewed me about the Better and Reality project at V2.

The technologies needed to create Augmented Reality environments are, however, still very experimental and therefore often inaccessible to artists. To enable more artists to create augmented reality artworks, V2_Lab has developed a software/hardware platform called VGE (V2_ Game Engine), that is based on Ogre3D, OpenAL, Blender, ultrasound positioning and SIOS (Sensor Input/Output System). The latter was also developed at V2_Lab.\nIn VGE, the user wears a set of stereo video displays that show a mix of 3D visuals and real world video that is received from a head mounted stereo camera. The position in space and orientation of the head are tracked. Additionally, the geometry of the real space is modelled in the virtual space. The tracking makes it possible to fix the virtual world relative to the real world. For example, a virtual object can disappear behind a real wall.\nThe aim of V2_Lab is to extend VGE into an accessible authoring environment for Augmented Reality environments.\nTogether with two other artists we explore various topics of augmented reality: Marnix de Nijs (NL) will continue his Exercise in Immersion 4 project Boris Debackere (BE) researches spatial sound and I will focus on 3D and visual aspects of augmented reality.\nIn the fall of 2008 a series of workshops will be given, open to (art) students, artists and other professionals who are interested in artistic use of augmented reality.\nMore info about my results and findings soon\u0026hellip;\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/archive/better-than-reality-residency/","summary":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://pixelsix.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/p1010876.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://pixelsix.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/p1010876-225x300.jpg\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am currently participating at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.v2.nl/portal2004/generic/channel/item.sxml?uri=urn:v2:portal2004:rss:lab-news.rss:080704154328-Better-than-Reality\"\u003e\u0026lsquo;Better Than Reality, Augmented Reality Residency\u0026rsquo;\u003c/a\u003e at \u003ca href=\"http://www.v2.nl/\"\u003eV2\u003c/a\u003e in Rotterdam.\u003c/p\u003e\n","title":"Better Than Reality Residency"},{"content":"Because of changing my hosting server I changed from .org to .net.

It is a simple and genius way to scan objects by putting them in bucket with milk. What you need is a webcam, a Lego rig (or something else to attach the camera), a plastic bucket, a spoon, milk and the software. To scan you put the object in the bucket, put some milk in it and make a picture and so on. In the end the software generates an greyscale image with height information. The image you can use as a displacement map in Moviesandbox or in any other 3D APP. To see my result in Blender, download my Blend-file (to view it in the GameEngine press P to start). To see the Milkscanner in action have a look at the Milkscanner Intro.\nAs a second tool I played a bit with the demo version of iModeller 3D. It is a commercial tool that creates 3d objects with textures from photographs. For the photos you need to print out a marker pattern and place your object in the center of the pattern. With already something like 12 pictures the tool creates an textured 3D mesh. It looks quiet promesing, but I was still a bit dissapointed from my first results. I thing for good results I have to spend more time in the setup of the scanning setup. Probably a fixed Camera and the model on a turn table would be better.\nAs a last tool I want to test the David-Laserscanner as soon my ordered laser will be delivered. The David-Laserscanner was impressively used by Talltree \u0026amp; z25.org in their theater performance Bodycount. The work in progress can be seen here.\nUPDATE: here my first tests with David-Laserscanner. The scanner creates a quiet high resolution mesh with texture. The result is from one scan, to create a 360° model I need the additional software shapefusion. Today we went to the Institute for Biomechanics and Orthopaedics at the German Sport University Cologne. Here we had the great opportunity to test their 3D body scanner and have a look at there Motion Capture system.

To scan you put the object in the bucket, put some milk in it and make a picture and so on. In the end the software generates an greyscale image with height information. The image you can use as a displacement map in \u003ca href=\"http://moviesandbox.com/\"\u003eMoviesandbox\u003c/a\u003e or in any other 3D APP.

Participants of the workshop were Jo Cleykens, Jiri Heitlager, Walter Langelaar, Bruno De Bondt, Jeroen Neus, Edwin Uytenbroek and me.\nDuring the workshop we discussed the topic Alternated Reality Games (ARGs) and the concept Wep2.0. Based on these topics we developed our own project \u0026lsquo;Chuba\u0026hellip; ?\u0026rsquo;.\nAn ARG is a cross media game that deliberately blurs the line between the in-game and out-of-game experiences. ARGs are typified by involving the players with the story and its characters, by encouraging them to explore the story, solve plot based challenges, and interact with game characters. ARGs can be delivered via websites, email, telephones, or any other means of communication, which is available to the players.\nMore information about ARGs can be found at: Wikipedia - ARG Alternate Reality Gaming Network Jane McGonigal - writings \u0026lsquo;LonelyGirl15 - Is She or Isn\u0026rsquo;t She?\u0026rsquo; by Dee Cook \u0026lsquo;How I was played by Online Caroline\u0026rsquo; by Jill Walker \u0026lsquo;Chasing Bees, Without the Hive Mind\u0026rsquo; by Henry Jenkins ARG: The GO Game ARG: The Beast by 42entertainment ARG: I love bees\nOur own game concept CHUBA is a bit different from typical ARGs. It is actually a Hide-and-seek game with a real puppet (that I sew myself !!). One player has to hide Chuba (the puppet) and give hints about its whereabouts on the game\u0026rsquo;s website (http://chuba.org). When another player finds Chuba, it is his turn to hide it again. During the open day of CARGO on February the 4th children will get the opportunity to play it.\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/archive/cross-media-alternate-reality-gaming-workshop/","summary":"\u003cp\u003eIn 11/12 November and 2/3 December 2006 I participated in the \u003ca href=\"http://posse.scout.becoming.be/page.php?label=arg\"\u003e\u0026lsquo;Cross Media \u0026amp; Alternate Reality Gaming Workshop\u0026rsquo;\u003c/a\u003e part of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cargoweb.org/forum/index.php?c=14\u0026amp;sid=12469dfac6b694833772ae789b50fb80\"\u003eCARGO WORKSHOPS 2006\u003c/a\u003e in Oostende, Belgium.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results of the workshops will be presented at \u003ca href=\"http://cargoweb.org/\"\u003eCARGO MEDIA SPACE\u003c/a\u003e on February the 4th 2007. \u003ca href=\"http://www.cargoweb.org/\"\u003ehttp://www.cargoweb.org/\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop was initiated and coached by Jensen Dehaes (\u003ca href=\"http://wisper.be/\"\u003eWisper vzw\u003c/a\u003e).

It‘s about people that are using it and all used technologies and materials are only there to enable this interaction. So when a visitor sits down, he will see himself and somebody else looking at each other on the television screen. His head is filmed live by a web cam and combined with a recording of somebody else. As soon as he starts to turn the handle the video recording of the other person starts to be plaid. After watching the video the visitor is asked to record himself. If he now keeps turning the wheel, he will be recorded. In the end of his recording his movie will bemirrored and the next visitor can watch and react on his recording. In this way people can play with the machine, discover its function, react on each other, sometimes in a direct and expressive way, sometimes in a intimate and exploratory way and sometimes in a way telling each other stories.\nJonas Hansen concept, design, hardware development, programming\nKlaas Jan Mollema concept, design, hardware development\nwebsite Project, Media Technology Leiden, NL (MSc)\n","permalink":"https://pixelsix.net/projects/reaction-machine/","summary":"\u003cp\u003eThe installation Reaction Machine plays with the intimate field of tension between the people.
