Overloading / Overloaded: Touch Me Softly

POSTCITY, Campus

Interactive installation

The Ars Electronica Center itself is being expanded to include touch-sensitive sensors which will be transformed into an interactive installation. Several sensor-points placed on different positions on the façade invite visitors to touch, caress, scratch, strike and hit the building. Touch, in turn, creates wave animations that spread across the building. Overloading the sensors (eg. hard knocking) causes the whole façade to crash.
