Making a new toy is always fun!



     'oooooo' is an experimental tangible media installation.
Rolling the cylinders, users can rotate the hand images coupled with the cylinders separately.
The photocells sense the light from the flat monitor while printed gradient on the cylinder surfaces block the light gradually according to its rotation.

     The images of hands are 6 letters of the sign language which mean 'C.R.E.A.T.E'
The images rotate accoring to the rolling cylinders changing their sizes. Every pixel is copied and shifted to one pixel aside making endless patterns. People can create beautiful patterns rotating the cylinders with their palms.

      This project was exhibited for the'PALM' graduate show during 07-12 Dec, 2006, at the New Wight Gallery in Broad Art center
