This interactive exhibition poster celebrates an embrace of technology’s influence on a creative output. It draws inspiration from the algorithmically morphing works exhibited at Cybernetic Serendipity (1968) and computer animations from Australia ‘75. Over fifty years later, those early technologies have become tried and tamed, embedded into design software. Yet there are still many moments of visual serendipity in this creative process.
Unlike its predecessor posters from 1968 and 1975, this poster steps beyond a static printed medium; it is displayed on a digital monitor and connected to a camera that detects the viewer’s proximity using Computer Vision. The poster shifts in colour as the viewer moves, creating a playful dance that embodies the creative human-computer relationship.
