Communication Plateau

Communication Plateau is an interactive sound and light installation derived from Plato's Allegory of The Cave. Inspired by the imagery of projections on the wall as a metaphor for existence, I set out to simulate a similar visual language in this installation. The project involves a Kinect Azure pointed at the entrance of the exhibition. The Kinect then sends point cloud data into TouchDesigner. The point cloud data is then formatted and passed through various nodes like blur, feedback and threshold. These nodes are also mapped to an original soundtrack and depending on the frequency, the values in the node changes, creating an audio-reactive experience.
