Snowflakes Installation

Snowflakes creates a playful public space. This interactive art installation was installed in the Central City plaza in Surrey, British Columbia for the Winter of 2007.

Snowflakes is an interactive art installation which is installed in the Central City plaza/building for the Winter of 2007. Participants stand or move in front of the building. On the screens people see a mirrored video projection image of themselves in black and white (silhouette), combined with a color animation of falling or transforming snowflakes. Like real snow, the snowflakes appear to land on participants’ bodies and respond to their movement lifting and falling again. Three screens of Snowflakes create different animations and interactions.
