Flaneur
Laurent Mignonneau and Christa Sommerer
In the interactive installation Flaneur visitors can walk around on a large round projection surface. Their walking pattern and speed creates beautiful vegetations, consisting of leaves, flowers, branches and other organic elements. Strolling around fills up a colorful virtual garden which always recomposes itself.
However digital ants also like these beautiful flora and come to quickly eat them up. They organize themselves to eliminate all what humans have created. Between one´s joyful creation of a garden and the removal cycle created by the ants, one might be reminded of the human impact on nature.
Flaneur celebrates the aimless strolling around and the life cycle of creation and disappearance.
