Description of the interaction:
The shape and texture of the object is confusingly reminiscent of human skin, which further emphasises its organic character. When someone approaches the camera, the sculpture reacts with stress - its form swells like a fish's blowhole. When the observer is far away, the object remains small and makes quiet sounds, which become louder when it detects movement in its direction.

Extra details about the work:
“Johnny” is an interactive digital object whose organic form moves and reacts to the movements of its surroundings. Displayed from an overhead projector, the object changes its shape and makes sounds reminiscent of whale songs.
