Trails

Exhibited at 50th Sehsüchte 2021, Trails is an audio visual interactive installation that addresses the topic of human impact on the marine ecosystem.

This project is an interactive installation that addresses the topic of human impact on the marine ecosystem. We tackle the issue regarding the degradation of coral reefs and with it the extinction of marine species. The installation consists of a wooden structure that resembles coral plates that are layered on top of each other. Fish like organisms are projected on the horizontal area of the wooden structure. The users can interact with these organisms with their hand movements.

The simulations of boid system as well as the interactions were implemented in Touchdesigner. A LeapMotion was used for the hands interactions.

This project was done in collaboration with Anna Eschenbacher and Marie Scharnagl, who built the wooden structure.
