EXQUISITE CORPSE – Thomas Hall – Screen Room
The classic party game exquisite corpse, invented by surrealist artists in the 1920s, is re-imagined and given a digital makeover in this playful, interactive installation. Dress up as your favourite character or monster and watch as your image is transformed to create a collection of strange and surprising new creatures on the big screen.
ACTIVE MIRROR – Sean Clark – Screen 2
Look into the Active Mirror and see yourself appear on the big screen. The Mirror lets you create a kaleidoscope of crazy shapes and patterns, using your own image or playing with others. Try using the light from your mobile phone screen to add exciting new shapes to the visual mix.
PICTUREWALL – Sean Clark – Screen Lounge
Use the digital sketchpad to create a drawing and ‘flick' it on to the Picturewall. Your pictures will become part of a moving collage that will be displayed in the Screen Lounge throughout the weekend. All pictures will also be uploaded to the Internet so you can view them on the Picturewall website when you get home.
