The Nature of Living – an experiment of generative visuals is the work of our colleague Jonathon Toon, created as a part of his degree in Media and Interaction Design at Victoria University of Wellington.

The experiment named as “The Nature of Living” is inspired by the creative techniques and ‘Visual Music’ and ‘Synaesthesia’, as Jonathon explains on his blog.

His presentation was also featured on ProDesign, a New Zealand design magazine.

He uses a wall projector, along with an infra-red camera connected to ‘Max/MSP Jitter’ a visual programming language for music and multimedia. The software uses the input form the infra-red camera (based on the velocity and mass in front of it to create abstract expression of the person’s experience. Cool eh?

We are so proud.

All the best JayTee.
