Resortes is an interactive installation manipulated in real-time through the hand gestures of participants. In this installation, Newton’s laws of motion of which we find in our day to day life, is simulated to recreate various elastic strings from a set of particles or nodes.The strings act independently from each other and they are triggered either by the hand gestures of each participant or by real-time audio analysis.
In this installation two Leap Motions were used, they were located at the start and at the end of the projection. Each sensor affects differently the musical composition to produce self-rhythms and organic results. At the same time the hand movement can alter the physics of the chords, analogous to manipulating a elastic string with your bare hands. When the two Leap Motions are working simultaneously, both visual and sounds generated from each sensor are combined into one composition.
