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.

About the project

The archive of interactive art is an attempt to create a platform for sharing documentation of interactive art. In hopes to better understand the different strategies and the similarities of the works.

Largely based on the paper Strategies of interactive art (2010) by Ryszard w. Kluszczynski.

Initiated by Vygintas Orlovas as a part of the postdoctoral project “Exploring strategies of interactive art and active participation. A practice-based approach to map audience engagement” (Nr. S- PD-22-29), funded by the Research Council of Lithuania.
