Vans @ Mutek – Interactive Installation

As a regular collaborator of Digital Arts and Music Fest MUTEK MX, Quarso created an interactive installation for VANS on PLAY 1 Night where artists like Nosaj Thing and Grenda performed.

We were asked to create one of two installations for the night, the other one commissioned to Japanese artist Takami Nakamoto from Nonotak Studio.

The objective was to create an installation that would really capture the artistic and technological essence that VANS is striving for. The installation consists of a series of pictures provided by the brand, that are broken up into particles every time a user passes by and it’s detected by a Kinect. After the user is gone the particles will rearrange into the picture, leaving a trace behind that will make the picture different every time.
