Interactive Installation[Self-developed Bubble machine and Projection System],2009

 

 

 

Radiance provides an experience of manipulating projected images in a physical interactive setup. Images drawn on the touchscreen monitor are projected real-time on a bubble machine in the room. The bubble machine with a pre-programmed motor system controls the height of the soap film. The dynamic film pauses for a few seconds in its maximum height and releases to the soap container before the next lifting. The soap membrane functions as a special mirror which reflects the projected images to the wall with the unique soap effect. The constant flow of the soap liquid and the ever-changing iridescent soap colors merge into the reflected images. When people were walking around or playing with the soap film, they turns the flat soap surface into many interesting wavy shapes which further transform the reflected images.
