================================================= medialounge // #76 // 25.01.05 // ================================================= Medialounge is an exhibition space designed to showcase creative excellence in the fields of digital, network and interactive media. ================================================= Sodaplay Transfigured by Soda http://www.druh.co.uk/medialounge/exhibitions.html Medialounge The Media Centre Huddersfield UK 3 February - 8 April 2005 Mon - Fri, 10am - 5.30pm ================================================= www.druh.co.uk/medialounge/exhibitions.html ================================================= Medialounge presents Sodaplay Transfigured, a projected installation showing a selection of animated models submitted by users around the globe who have used the Sodaconstructor interface to fill the Sodaplay database with over half a million objects. Sodaconstructor is an online multi-user tool for constructing animated objects and applying physical forces such as gravitational pull, springs and friction. The objects created are often delicate, beautiful and enigmatic, dancing, bouncing or stumbling across the screen. The animations are kept in a database and can be retrieved later, creating a global community of participants. Transfigured's constantly changing gallery of models is displayed in a software application that animates models in a never-repeating random sequence. Visitors to the exhibition will be able to create their own models and add them to the database using computers in the Medialounge. Transfigured was first commissioned by the Australian Centre of the Moving Image, Melbourne, Australia, 2003.
