*인터렉티브 인스톨레이션, 나비야 날자[ cinimodstudio ] Flutter

나비 하늘로 날아 오르다.
국한적으로 이루어져있던 미디어 인터렉티브가 요새는 활발하게
진행되고 있는 것 같아요. 미디어랩, 디자인 아이오와 같이 앞서그룹의
프로젝트를 보는 재미도 있지만
시니몬드 스튜디오와 같이 실생활에서 보여주는 설치물과 결합된
미디어 인터렉티브는 또다른 감동을 주네요.
일방향적인 미디어에서 양방향적인 미디어의 시대로
넘어가는 모습이 이곳에서도
보이네요.
‘Flutter’ is a new interactive artwork by Dominic Harris of Cinimod Studio that explores the viewer’s encounter with a rabble of virtual butterflies. Set within a striking architectural framework and making use of cutting edge technologies, the artwork is a product of our on-going fascination with the motion of a butterfly’s flight and the iridescent reflections and scattering of light by the scales on a butterfly’s wing.

Flutter consists of a linear array of 88 vertical double-sided video fins projecting from a mirrored surface. Butterflies flash through these screens on virtual flight paths, visible for fleeting moments as the light irridesces off their wings.

The sequenced form of the installation references animation ideas first developed in the zoetrope, and its later successor, the praxinoscope. However, in a developmental move away from the linear time-sliced nature of these devices, the introduction of interactive control in ‘Flutter’ makes the ephemerality of the encounter influence its semiotics.

The butterfly has different meanings in different cultures, from being a symbol of life or death, luck or tragedy, nervousness or happiness. ‘Flutter’ explores these notions through cutting-edge interactivity – the movement of the viewer around the piece determines the scale of the butterfly’s flutter. By reaching out your hand a flying butterfly will respond, either by landing near you or by being scared away. In playing with the butterflies more intricate behaviours will be uncovered.

Flutter was first unveiled at the Kinetica Art Fair 2010 in London.  A new edition of Flutter is currently being prepared and will be launched as a limited edition later in 2010.  For further information please contact the studio.
