Description:
Rakugaki is an interactive drawing installation with sound. It brings back your childhood memories or simply lets you have fun. When you play the trumpet or the drum, a line appears. It starts to bend and wiggle, to transform into animals, a fish, etc.
When you play the bells, figures start to revolve happily!
When you play the shaker, the cube turns freely! It’s like a snow shaker. This project is situated on the borderland of the analogue and the digital. The essence of this artwork is combining visual effects and the real-time interactive nature of computer technology, to see how the latter can interpret sound and transform it into a line, which it then animates. The ultimate aim of this work is to be exhibited in public areas such as subways, atriums and shops where there is a large open space and a large number of people can experience the work. (...)
