Aura Installation

“Aura” is an installation visualizing human presence as moving energy. Projected onto the wall are thousands of ‘particles’ that are attracted to your presence, they turn from a cool blue to a warm red and increase in movement depending on the activity in their area. The installation’s sound component was a loop of an indefinable rumble from a sub-woofer, the volume of the rumble was determined by the overall amount of activity occurring in the installation at the moment.
The installation, created back in May, detects a person’s presence using an infrared camera and a simple subtractive-background method of motion detection. The installation used custom software written using Processing libraries.
Unfortunately I have been unable to track down my original video documentation of the project so-far, until I get that footage all I have are a few photos, below are a couple.
