“They watched the sea! (ils ont regardé la mer!)” presented by Naggar

Symposium:

• ISEA2015: 21st International Symposium on Electronic Art

• They watched the sea! (ils ont regardé la mer!)

• Cynthia Naggar

• Ils ont regardé la mer! is a visual and interactive installation programmed in Pure Data. The participant is invited to put a pulse sensor around his finger. The pulse of the heart control the movement of the waves in the ocean. It’s a very serene and contemplative experience; people are connected to the nature and really feel the movement of the ocean threw their body. I’m using old material of construction to do mapping of the images. In this way, it creates a contrast between the rigid of the material and the freedom that wildness bring. A mysterious introspection that reminds us the strong link between the human body and the magnificent of nature. Most of the videos were shot in New Brunswick and in east coast, USA.
