Roots

Installation

A vine branches out across a multi-touch table from wherever fingers touch it, triggering sounds and loops as it grows. Objects set on the surface attract or repel the roots; rotating them steers the growth. Built in Processing, and shown on the Processing exhibition page.

Two hands pressing the darkened table, pale blue tendrils spreading out from beneath the fingertips.
Screen capture on white: dense grey branching tendrils sprouting from several clusters of small ringed dots and sprawling across the frame.
Conference visitors packed around the lit table under magenta and green light, one hand drawing a green branching growth across the white surface.
