激光森林
一个巨大的互动音乐激光森林。这个巨大的互动森林由450平方米的区域组成，由150多棵由杆子和激光构成的音乐‘树’组成，由埃因霍温的STRP双年展委托并首次上演。观众可以自由探索空间，通过敲击、摇动、拨动和振动树木来触发声音和激光。由于材料的固有弹性，与树木互动会使它们摆动和振荡，产生光和声音的振动模式。每棵树都调谐到一个特定的音调上，通过强大的环绕音响系统创造出和谐的声音空间效果。
激光森林是一个可巡回互动装置，对公众开放并可以进行表演。表演在STRP双年展开幕式上首演，由12名当地8至12岁的儿童参与。他们被编排在空间中移动，弹奏和触发激光和声音。
这是一个Marshmallow Laser Feast项目，我在2011年与其他人共同创立的艺术与新兴技术工作室（我在2014年离开该公司去攻读人工智能博士学位）。

Our body is a vessel for emotional expression. We have a natural instinct to express ourselves through movement. Body Paint explores our ability for non-verbal expressive communication, and combines it with our desire to create; even more so, our desire to create something beautiful.
Body paint is a visual instrument that enables you to paint on a virtual canvas with your body, interpreting movement and gestures into evolving compositions. It is not a painting application per se, and instead explores expressive ways of creating and performing images and color through capturing the motion and energy of the body. The piece is about the interaction experience. What matters is not the image created at the end, but the sensation of creating it, interacting with it, reacting to your creation as it evolves. Analogous to music, the motivation for playing an instrument is not always to compose or record. Sometimes every note is just for the moment, an unconscious response coming from within, without any concern for making it permanent. Similarly in Body Paint, when you stop moving, the image slowly fades away, leaving only the memory of your experience.
The interaction is simple, movement creates paint. The installation is designed to work with any number of people and is scalable to cover areas from 4m to 50m wide, potentially more. (In fact the installation doesn’t see ‘people’ at all, only movement. So anything – living or not – of any shape can trigger colours, as long as it moves in the space). While the installation is suitable for a single person, when multiple people are present, a new dynamic emerges as the audience start interacting with each other via the work.
The work has been shown internationally including as part of the Victoria & Albert Museum’s touring Decode exhibition in 2009, and is part of a number of public collections around the world.
