The opening will be on next Thursday. If you are in LA, I hope you can come to join me. I am showing my new project - "Body Hack". You may find the description and some prototype videos of the piece at www.body-hack.com. At the bottom of this newsletter is some track back recent moves. Thanks

Hope to see you.

Best,
Eric

Body Hack | 2009 | Interactive Installation (Body Karaoke)

www.body-hack.com

Body Hack is a full-body interactive system exploring subversive ideas towards what I call “human shadow responsive interactive art.” These immersive systems can be applied across a huge range of cultural practices including live action cinematic role-hacking games, motion vj-ing, and even full body karaoke.
