"A-Volve" is an interactive environment, where visitors
interact with virtual organisms in the real space of a water filled
glass pool. Drawing the profile and shape of any possible form with
their finger onto a touch screen, visitors will create three dimensional
organisms. These organisms will be transferred and displayed simultaneously
as three dimensional creatures in the water of the pool.A special
editor provides that the visitors can create any kind of form with
their finger and change and modify them in real-time. The three dimensional
forms will be immediately "alive" and they will move and
swim in the water of the pool. These virtual creatures are products
of the rules of evolution, they are influenced by human creation and
decision.
They are sensitive to the viewer's hand movements in the water: they
react according to the viewer's behaviour; the viewer can catch them,
modify their forms and communicate with them in real time. If the
viewer "touches" a creature it will avoid the viewer's hand
and try to flee or sometimes come back to the viewer in order to "play"
with him. The movements and behaviour of the organisms will depend
mainly on their forms, on how the viewer was designing them on the
drawing screen. Each creature moves, reacts and evolves according
to its form, creating unpredictable and always new life-like behaviour.
Since the organisms will capture all slightest movements of the viewer's
hand in the water, the form and behaviour of these organisms will
change constantly.
