ACTION FLOCKING

OIOI
ACTION FLOCKING, 2010

Action Flocking is a collective action painting project, where movements of people are visualised into graphics and particle animations projected onto the screen in real time. The project explores and demonstrates collective game and visualisation concepts that are based on tracking user movements via camera and RFID sensing.
The concept includes a variety of game scenarios and visualisation techniques where some can be played between cities. The purpose of the project is to invent new participatory and playful forms to urban events.
The RFID concepts are produced in cooperation with UPM-Raflatac and their technology affiliates.
