Starfish Installation

Genetic Moo build living installations in pixels and light. Since 2008 we have been developing a series of interactive video installations. Darkened spaces reveal beguiling & unsettling creatures, combining elements of the human and the animal. Choreographed video clips respond in a variety of life-like ways to user motion and touch. The works are driven using open source software and webcams and can be easily adapted to different locations. The creatures vary in size from the tiny Animacules to the all encompassing Mother. The pull between attraction & repulsion is an important element of our grotesque creations. Our work may inspire disgust but laughter is never far behind. By creating tense experiences we ask users to question the nature of our creatures and what they have to say about human evolution. Interaction enables us to heighten an illusion of life, and create rich user-driven narratives.
