The Inter-ACT + Re-ACT Programme has just seen its first new interactive work created as a part of a series of Artists Commissions. The Digital Playground has been created and developed by Artist Will Hurt.
It takes the form of a screen based programme triggered by a series of coloured buttons. When activated they animate geometric shapes, moving them around the screen together with playing a sound. This allows people to create a unique 'real time' audio visual composition. Will is interested in the nature and concept of Digital Space. His installation plays with this notion in an intuitive and easy to understand visual language. Although stage 1 of this project has been completed and a fully working version is up and running at LEVEL we hope to develop this work further in the future. Ideas include developing its capacity as a full musical instrument and perhaps even create a whole orchestra using several instances of the installation.
This commissions forms a part of the Inter-ACT + Re-ACT programme at LEVEL and is a co-commission with D-LAB. On the 10th of November Will was invited to demonstrate the new work at LEVEL, sharing his ideas and the creation process with other artists undertaking D-LAB commissions. (See image above + below).
More information about Digital Playground will appear here soon.
