Archifon I. – Interactive Installation

Archifon I. - Interactive Installation
Archifon is a large interactive virtual musical instrument originally made for the Olomouc Baroque de-baptized chapel. Architectonical objects are re-interpreted by virtual layer via projection and sound. This is made possible by the mapping of the virtual surface of the chapel's interior.

Up to ten visitors at a time can interact with Archifon by using the laser pointers. By pointing to any of the more than 100 elements, different audiovisual reactions are initiated.

Concept, audio, Max/MSP programming by Tomaš Dvořák - Floex {floex.cz}
Concept, visuals, realtime tracking by Dan Gregor - Initi {initi.org}
Support programmer: Jakub Koníček
Vocals: Karolina Vyskočilová
