Interference — a particle field you disturb by existing.

An interactive installation about electromagnetic interference: a living particle field, driven by Kinect body tracking, that reacts and distorts as visitors move through it — the way man-made EMI disturbs the natural world.

The concept: electromagnetic fields have always existed in nature, in harmony with life. Man-made interference — telecommunications, undersea cables — disturbs that balance, measurably altering marine and animal behavior. The installation makes that invisible disturbance visible and personal: your body is the interference.

Built in Unity with Kinect V2 skeletal tracking; the particle system responds to presence, proximity, and movement. Inspired by the interactive Hakanaï performance.
