Basic virus creation and interaction prototype
Here’s the latest prototype Nick and me created for thesis. This was programmed in OpenFrameworks to prototype the following:
- Physics and attributes of the virus
- Virus attacking characteristics, not demonstrated in this video
- Amount of user movement required to create virus
- User interaction with virus
Here’s the latest iteration of our thesis abstract for more context on what we are working towards.
Humanizer – A Study of Humans as Viruses, Infecting and Mutating Systems.
Humanizer is an interactive audio/visual installation that explores the relationship between humans and systems. The state of the system is represented by an evolving audio/visual composition, projected on a large surface. Users can infect and mutate the components of the system with the human virus through gestures. This leads to evolving and humanizing the system, emphasizing humans’ effect on existing systems.

Experiment 1
Another prototype for thesis – a refined squid and a new tick creature created in oF. Both are hooked up to Reaktor via OSC. The squid produces the screechy sounds and the tick produces the beats.
Here the speed at which the tick kicks it’s legs is controlled via a slider. The tempo of the beats produced by the tick are also manipulated at the same time. Created with oF, Reaktor and OSC.

The squid – oF + Reaktor
The first prototype for thesis – hooked up Nick’s squid to Reaktor. The squid breathes and moves towards the mouse. OpenFrameworks sends OSC messages based on the squids properties to control 3 parameters in Skrewell within Reaktor – breath controls flow, x position controls filter and y position controls delay.

Awesome interactive wall. It’ll be cool if more than 6 people can interact with it at the same time.
