ZONES OF FLOW IV
zones of flow (iv), 2023, I-Park Foundation (Inc.), Connecticut (USA)
Interactive audiovisual installation involving a waterbed, horizontal projection screen, LeapMotion sensor, microcontroller and pressure sensor, and running via TouchDesigner and Arduino.
“zones of flow (iv)” is an interactive audiovisual installation that invites people to rest between two bodies of water: a waterbed and a back-lit projection screen, where moving images of water surfaces are projected. Lying down, the visitor is flowing and sandwiched between visual representations of water and a body of water itself – the waterbed – while also being surrounded by sounds, which add another dimension of immersion to the experience.
The development of this project has been kindly supported by I-Park Foundation (Inc.) and the School of Engineering from the University of Kent.
In December 2023, an independent curatorial jury awarded ‘zones of flow (iv)’ one of the top two Site Responsive Art Program Awards, I-Park Foundation (Inc.)

Canterbury – Studio 3 (pilot)
Below you can see a previous test of the horizontal projection using a fixed media output and an inflatable mattress. The test was conducted at Studio 3 (School of Arts) with members of the University of Kent, and at the Eliot Forrest Studio with members of the Playing A/Part research project.
