a fun interactive piece.

The theme of our art show was “Viaggio” (voyage), so all of the pieces are about some form of travel.

The photos below are of a fun project by Federico and Mirco of Urban Gap. They projected an animated continuous loop of train cars on a wall and set up a stand with a special keyboard and camera. We typed our names and looked into a monitor (positioning our faces inside the outline of a head). The camera started recording our facial expressions for four seconds, randomly attired us in the customary garb of a country and then added us to the train loop. As more people came to the show, more people hopped on the train – it really captured the spirit of the whole event.

Steve hops on the train, as Richard Gere.
Here’s Steve dressed as … a Statunitense, circa anni ‘80!
