The KHRONOS PROJECTOR interactive-art installation

The Khronos Projector is an interactive-art installation allowing people to explore pre-recorded movie content in an entirely new way. A classic video-tape allows a simple control of the reproducing process (stop, backward, forward, and elementary control on the reproduction speed). Modern digital players add little more than the possibility to perform random temporal jumps between image frames. The goal of the Khronos Projector is to go beyond these forms of exclusive temporal control, by giving the user an entirely new dimension to play with: by touching the projection screen, the user is able to send parts of the image forward or backwards in time. By actually touching a deformable projection screen, shaking it or curling it, separate “islands of time” as well as “temporal waves” are created within the visible frame. This is done by interactively reshaping a two-dimensional spatio-temporal surface that “cuts” the spatio-temporal volume of data generated by a movie.

Hybrid Light Projection Concerts

Bymerging a plain overhead projector with a more modern digital videoprojector and a computer vision system, Golan Levin and ZacharyLieberman have developed (well, in 2004) what they call Manual Input Sessions. Essentially interactive and dynamic shadow puppets, the vision system analyzes the shadows you cast over the analog project with your hands and augments the output via the digital projector, adding sounds and graphics based on the movements and forms of your hands. Even though this is the sort of thing that’s more proof-of-concept than on its way to the market (for now), if Fisher Price could produce a budget version all-in-one unit, this would make a phenomenal children’s toy—one I would quite possibly have to steal from neighborhood children in exchange for candy. Check out the video and watch through to act 2 (at least) to understand how awesome this stuff is.

Crystal Laser Chandelier and More

Cocksedge has managed to fuse art, electricity and light together to
form some very creative pieces. Take “Watt?” for example:
Watt? is designed with purity in mind. The elegant switch is based on the natural conductive properties of the graphite found in pencils.
Connecting two points with the a pencil line completes the circuit and
the light is switched on. When the line is rubbed out the light is
switched off.

Even better is the crystal and laser
chandelier, composed of a Swarovski crystal that catches and splices
the light all across the room, along with a vase that lights up when
there’s a (live) flower present. As Paul’s portfolio requires an access
code to explore, MoCo Loco’s your best bet for good pictures and
details.
