Embodied Media

YOMO/Interactive

Interactive Installation2019

A live interactive media installation concerned with oceans and coastlines, speaking to environmentalism and climate justice. Presented for National Dance Day at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Interacting with visitors in real time through the Active Space intermedia performance system, YOMO/Interactive created visuals and sound sequences in response to movement, thus influencing how people move. Presented as part of Your Ocean, My Ocean (YOMO), an ongoing art and design initiative dedicated to increasing awareness of the human-ocean relationship. Projects in the YOMO series demonstrate and illuminate ways in which the human desire to transform our environment is unleashing destructive forces that endanger the world and everything in it, including ourselves.

Production date: September 2019.
