berlin

In Winter of 2009 I worked with Justin Roberts to create an interactive installation to celebrate the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Justin, who is an extremely talented craftsman studying Dramatic Media at the University of Georgia, built a life-sized rear-projection surface which looks a lot like a segment of the wall. I wrote a java sketch which allows you to use a wii remote to throw virtual bricks at a physics-simulated brick wall projected on the segment. When the viewer successfully destroyed the virtual wall they would discover various contextual videos playing behind it, and hopefully experience a semblance of the relief felt by those living in and around Berlin as the wall came down in 1989.
