TRANS-ELEMENTAL / Mixed Reality Installation
Aluminum stand, metal box, micro-controller with DC motors and servo, wind chime, video projector, computer

Can natural elements from a virtual reality take solid form and exist in our physical reality? Can virtual particles affect real world molecules?
This project is a mixed reality installation in which the wind of Second Life is used to move a windchime in real physical space. The virtual wind’s direction and speed are the variables that determine the device’s functionality in real time. This work creates a parallel between these two realities (virtual and physical), showing how they relate and interact with each other, creating a portal from one world to the other.
