[odys] elicit<\/a> – a full-body, interactive art installation circa 2001 – is now available under a Creative Commons By Attribution Non-Commercial Share-Alike<\/a> license, and the source code is available under GPL<\/a>. It works with almost any standard webcam (requiring a few drivers on PC)!<\/p>\n

[odys]elicit is a large scale, interactive installation where every movement of the viewer, small or sweeping, births stuttering text onscreen. The viewer’s motion elicits, character by character, passages from odys’ text. The piece responds to small movements, writing the text onscreen slowly for the viewer to read, or to rapid passersby, whose full bodies birth hundreds of flying characters, impossible to decode.<\/p>\n

In odys’ work, viewers are forced to look at the spaces between language and meaning, the luxuries of stuttering and silence as communication, and the effects of accelerated and decelerated time. [odys]elicit physically places viewers at the center of co-invented noise, forced to perform – willingly or not. odys’ text has been reduced down to where it no longer has meaning and is re-birthed, with possibly infinite meanings, or none at all.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dowloading<\/strong>:
Please first check out the read_me<\/a> file – the PC application requires some extra (free) installs, and you can very easily change video settings or sources, input new text, toggle between birthing letters or full words, adjust the motion tracking tolerance levels given different lighting, or change the direction the text will go on the fly!Send me<\/a> error messages if you encounter any bugs, or have much success! I am yet to fully test the OS 9 or PC versions.<\/em> Oh, and about any parties or exhibitions that this thing is a hit at, too ;)<\/p>\n
