intr_cept (or My Idea of Fun)

A responsive environment where the participant can play ball with a virtual being projected on a wall. While the ball is being thrown, its position is determined in real-time and the projected character moves according to that position. When the ball hits the wall, the projection gives the impression that the virtual being hits it back. At the same time, the level of activity of the participant is reflected in the intensity of the audio soundscape.

intr_cept brings the participant to instantiate a physical dialog with a virtual being. The project builds a bridge between solitary moments of our childhood, and today’s rarification of these moments as a consequence of our highly connected lives. The virtuality of our relationships shifts our perceptions of sociability and solitude. We can imagine the projected character as being a friend, throwing the ball back at us and thus, transforming the solitary game into a virtually social activity.
