Game Art: Jake Jonghwa Kim et al.'s "Space Maestro" (2013)
"Space Maestro is an interactive Kinect experience that enables players to create their own musical universe through free-form movement in physical space. By spatially moving both hands like a maestro conducting an orchestra, players fuse gas clouds in space into stars. As new stars are born, collide, and die, they trigger musical stingers that compose a unique audio-visual experience"
