Ctrl-Alt-Self:
Unveiling their latest endeavour for LIT 2025, “Ctrl-Alt-Self” is an immersive and interactive work with a multidimensional and immersive audio-visual sculpture, one that directly involves the audience, uniquely integrating them into the very fabric of the artwork. “Ctrl-Alt-Self” is a freestanding sculpture consisting of ten aluminium squares that are suspended in a row. Attached to each square is a layer of tulle fabric and around the perimeter of each square is a border of pixel mappable LED strip. A projector projects light through the layers which creates a multilayered holographic effect. A kinect camera behind the first layer of scrim scans the audience in real-time and the live scan of the audience member is converted into digital form consisting of thousands of particles. This converted video feed is projected through the layers of fabric, the audience is able to see themselves as a digital avatar and are able to interact with this projected version of themselves in real-time. Further to this, the work will be enhanced by an ethereal soundscore that will take it to another level.

Shadow Play:
Also making its debut at LIT 2025 is an interactive visual sculpture called Shadow Play by Studio John Fish which consists of a large panoramic video screen behind a reeded acrylic wall. The audience is able to walk between the layers and become a part of the artwork as viewers outside see their silhouette and the content morphed by the lens effect of the specialised acrylic material. The artwork will be effective day and night and provide a playful moment to interact and engage with.
