Enacting Photobooth

This installation challenges the traditional boundaries of the screen by inverting the concept of digital immersion. Rather than forcing the user to enter a computer, the project brings the logic of the computer out into the physical space of CIID. By removing the "glass" that separates us from code, we created an enacting computer—a system that bypasses abstract interfaces to speak the intuitive language of the human body.

The project explores embodied interaction by translating four core digital functions—take, delete, print, and share—into tangible, spatial experiences. In this environment, specific physical movements trigger digital consequences: the user’s voice captures a moment, the weight of a foot drives the action of deleting, presence alone awakens a creature-like printer, and a sliding hand motion physically pushes a message out to the network.

By grounding these abstract commands in physical reality, the installation aligns digital processing with the immediacy and emotion of real-life occurrence. The result is a seamless interface where the boundary between the digital and the physical dissolves, transforming computation into something expressive, responsive, and alive.
