Ludic Rooms is proud to present our latest public digital art installation. Commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry, this is an interactive digital art piece that explores the interactions between people and technology through play. The screens are neither touch screens or television screens and as such break away from the traditional use of screens for digital art. The screens display the digital interpretation of the users analogue movement. Move your hand in front of the screen and your digital creation appears. Try exploring using different parts of the body with alternate motion. If you touch then the piece will dissolve to nothing.
The creators are Ashley Brown and Dominic Breadmore from Coventry. Both Ludic Rooms artists have close associations with Warwick Arts Centre; Dom due to his educational work with young people on Make it Reel, a young film-maker project, and regular visitors may remember Ashley as the former manager of Rise, the foyer music store:
“Transforming the empty retail store, formerly ‘rise’, at Warwick Arts Centre, is a real privilege for me. Having managed the record shop for 18 months, I met so many warm, friendly and wonderful people here. It was while working here that I first met Dom Breadmore. I left the store to pursue a new ambition to develop my interests in using technology to create interactive experiences for everyone to enjoy. Sharing this passion and love for technology, Dom and I became friends and began to work on ideas for projects together. Ludic Rooms was born. This is the third of this series of installations, following previous windows in Stoke-on-Trent and Coventry” Ashley Brown {ludic rooms}
Warwick Arts Centre’s aim is to be a place of creative stimulation, refreshment, and artistic adventure for audiences and artists alike.
Ash and Dom’s proposal, for a fun way of play on the windows of the old Rise store, encapsulates this mission and adds a whole colourful new dimension to your entry or exit to a visit to one of the country’s leading arts centres.
