CGI by Wendy Ann Mansilla
Croma Space is an interactive installation with 3D visuals and ambisonic sound that explores the potentials of human color perception stereopsis. We envision a synthetic space in muted palettes, depriving each rendered frame with the richness of colors. With carefully chosen palettes to only direct the sensations of the spectator, entering Chroma Space, the performer finds him or herself influencing the behaviour, colors and presentation of the virtual objects. Muted colors that are temporally interacting and communicating to our senses. Virtual objects moving in harmony with colors and sound. This is the abstract world that defines Chroma Space. The installation serves as a platform for experimenting the novel usage of affective colors and interactivity by employing computer vision and ambisonic 3D technology. It demonstrates the effective impacts of using stylistic yet primitive approach to address emotional sensations: by manipulation of colors in virtual space.
Croma Space is the second winner of an artistic scholarship award at Art.on.Wires 2010.
