A rendition of the KitesFight designed by Eva Schindling

A project designed and implemented by a female artist is the KitesFight by Eva Schindling. Schindling focused heavily on the application of technology in the realm of media art. She received a MSc. in Art and Technology from Chalmers University in Sweden and a degree in Interaction and Media Design from FH Joanneum in Austria. Schindling’s range of artwork is very wide with architectural Trojan Horse and simple sound projects. Out of such an extensive array of projects, I selected the KitesFight as it seems very similar to the projects that we engage with during this course.

The project features many triangles that interact with one another depending on a number of rule sets. The algorithm changes varying by the volume of the sound inputted. Then, the triangles follow each other, repel each other, and attach with one another. As we have been working on projects where different shapes interact with one another and we also just did the Sonic Art Project, I believe that though further practice. Such complex projects can be feasible.
