One Hundred and Eight is an interactive wall-mounted
Installation mainly made out of ordinary garbage bags. Controlled by a
microcontroller each of them is selectively inflated and deflated in
turn by two cooling fans.
Although each plastic bag is mounted stationary the sequences of
inflation and deflation create the impression of lively and moving
creatures which waft slowly around like a shoal. But as soon a viewer
comes close it instantly reacts by drawing back and tentatively
following the movements of the observer. As long as he remains in a
certain area in front of the installation it dynamically reacts to the
viewers motion. As soon it does no longer detect someone close it
reorganizes itself after a while and gently restarts wobbling around.There seems to be many art installations and sculptures that harness the bauty and magic that programming can create. Simple things like motion sensors which set of fans can just bring a piece of art to life in such a special way....
