Our first decision was to create a work that interacted in some way with Exploding Cinema’s projection screen, using their light to create our piece. To do this we use a simple webcam attached to a laptop running our own program created in Processing. The resulting imagery is then projected on a second screen.
When brightness of either colour exceeds a certain threshold ‘spontaneous generation’ occurs: red bugs are born from red light and green bugs from green light. The red bugs wander around leaving a trail until they find green food and vice versa. The accumulated effects of all these bugs is the carving out of channels between red and green food clumps.
