Their five-tier system is made from semi-transparent plastic embedded with LEDs. These are controlled via an OpenFrameworks script, which draws information about the location of attendees from six nearby Kinects. When a person moves or jumps onto one of the platforms, the lights turn on and change in intensity as their movements are tracked—meanwhile, a Processing-based program pushes generative, dynamic animations to five hanging screens behind the platforms. It’s lovely, in a futuristic, Saturday Night Fever kind of way.
