Our first test run after setting up our exhibition at Festival della Creativita. Everyone looked cool in their shades hooked up with IR gaze detection, and followed their heart beat and GSR streams flowing from one person to another. The festival begins today and its been a hard two days getting this booth in order! We're doing the last touches of tweaking the program and locking everything down (theft is popular in Italy!). We have some great neighbors - check out their video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGvwP4QyLcA and another neighbor who is specializing in projecting interactive graffiti!

Disco Painting
We bought a new projector yesterday, the Optoma ex530 its beautiful!!! Its tiny and has great specs for such a small machine. We had to play with it of course and first watched an episode of Buffy - what better to test on it? Then we tried our installation - both good, though for reference, the Buffy DVDs colors were not the best though they are on our other projector. We'll try with another movie later on.
To the point... we were just setting up to try out projecting on the ceiling to get an idea of what the installation might look like, albeit upside down (its meant for floor projection) so we turned the projector to the ceiling and on the way, caught the eye of our beautiful 20" disco ball. The room exploded in lights and we quickly figured out a new and fantastic past time, disco ball painting.
Opening Paint in windows, Dzl started to draw shapes, colors, and lines on the disco ball, changing the light and reflections it cast around the room, suddenly reflections of circles, squiggles and beautiful colors danced around our ceilings. Guess what our next installation is? Video to follow.
