This is a video and a link to the piece.

This project really interested me based on the interaction that the viewer can have and how much agency is actually given to the viewer. In my opinion the art that interests me most is usually the kind that I can interact with. This audio reactive installation was made by 3 artists in the artist collective, The Creators. The algorithms that generated the work probably had to do with the distance that the person was from the installation, similarly to mouseX, they might’ve had a camera that could base the sound and video movement off of a person’s proximity to said camera.  The artists’ concept is implemented into their execution, the viewers participation or lack thereof shows the concepts of causality, responsibility, and choice. In this piece, the viewer becomes the creator, the sound and visuals react to the choices of the viewer.
