In the installation area, the human body is augmented with video projected virtual images. Viewer and technology enter a symbiotic relationship and as a result, bring to life wonderful biomorphic creatures. They change constantly – reacting to your every movement and turning into new and unique forms each time. The installation was inspired by the symmetry of living organisms, the structure of exotic insects, and reflections on extraterrestrial life forms.

Instructions:

– observe the creatures.

– come in contact with them by standing on the mark in front of the screen. Move and watch the creatures change their form and sound.

– merge with the creatures and create an entirely new biomorphic organism. Stand on the mark close to the screen. The vertical line on the video projection will guide you to the proper symmetrical position.

Be sure to take pictures to experience the installation to the fullest.

The work can be shown using a video projector, though building a pavilion is required for maximum blacking-out of the installation zone.

The effect for the visitors can be enriched by placing a mirror in the installation zone in order to see their image augmented by the video projection.

In an exterior exposure format – non interactive, as a digital gallery of generative images.

Symbiosis was highlighted on the cover of “New Media Installation” book, published in Hong Kong and representing the best of interactive art installations around the world.

Symbiosis soundtrack was released as a musical album, including remixes and videos.
