Art/Technology: Flutter
Flutter is an interactive artwork by Dominic Harris, and produced by Cinimod Studio. Presented at this years Kinetica Art Fair, the installation explores the viewer’s encounter with a rabble of virtual butterflies. Inspired by some ideas from the zoetrope and its later successor, the praxinoscope, by introducing interactive component it attempts to distance itself from the linear nature of the historical devices.
All hardware and control is bespoke, developed for the Flutter artwork. Each of the 88 screens is individually controlled from a PCB that holds 1 gigabyte of uncompressed full-resolution AVI animation. Each of these is connected in series to a DMX data signal, where the DMX provides the frame number of the animation file to display update at 60 fps.
