This recording sees the digital design responding to the viewers voice and vibrations as he taps on the microphone, creating a synthesis between the sound and the visual.....This inevitably lead me to thinking about sound sensitive garments...that could perhaps respond to your audible surroundings and emit correlating light or colour...

Mehmet Akten's 'Body Paint' design is a prime example of how the interactivity invloved with these works induces various personal responses and behaviours; made especially prominant when performed in the typically calm, quiet surroundings of a gallery... The immersive installation echoes your movement with vivid colour splashes, encouraging you to dance frantically infront of the screen (forgetting those on the opposite side of the screen can only see your 'choreography'...). This makes for a very entertaining piece, as well as being an inspiration to my work...is it possible to reflect your surroundings (peoples movement, wind resistance, light etc) through a similar method of sensors and colour on fabric?...

The Videogrid created by Ross Phillips was perhaps my favourite of all the pieces on an interactive level as it promoted the most in a behavioural response, which was increasingly becoming the most fascinating element to the exhibition. Not only did the grid formation create an interesting visual board to the viewer, with each short capture being just the perfect stunted length; but it initiated interaction with the work as well as within your participating group. Perhaps my design collection could work together to tell some form of narrative or respond to eachother using sensors to detect and 'communicate' with the other...
