EXPOSURE : A realtime interactive installation that places different people, from different times – together, allowing interaction between absent parties through a living digital canvas reflecting those that expose themselves to it. Exposure captures people and their emotions and uses them as an invitation for others to participate in the creation of a collection of memories and experiences caught and released in an ever changing exposure of life.

The installation was comprised of only a few main elements. First, there was a ‘faux’ green screen which was painted and used as a trigger for people to instantly understand that this was a video based installation that was aimed at audience participation.

The only other component was a large lo-fi button to start the recording process. This was made out of tinfoil, cardboard and a dish sponge (Foot illustration by Eric Natzke) and thankfully was able to take the abuse of 3 days of stomping. There was an element of the unknown when approaching the installation as people could only see videos of others being projected, so they would need to find the button and interact with it - seeing themselves enter the piece once recorded.

Here is a short clip captured from Day 1 of OFFF :
