New interactive work with swings
Kinetic Storyteller is a new interactive artwork by Tine Bech Studio. As participants swings on the structure, they are connected to a data stream of the networked landscape around them, specifically the social media banter of Twitter. With each kinetic swing rotation, new messages tagged with specific hashtags are presented on three large screen situated in front and to the sides of the participants. The social interaction is not only to reveal data, here each swing generating data – and different narratives. Thus the kinetic motion of the swings drives the data stream, illuminating this lost connection between our physical movement and the information that we generate and carry with us daily from our mobile devices. Participant’s interaction with the swings materializes the data moving invisible through their immediate spaces through play.
The work was selected and shown at SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, Data Materialities (LA, US) 2016.
