Game Art: Aaron Sherwood's 'Firewall" (2012)

Brooklyn-based artist Aaron Sherwood -  who is also Artist in Residence at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, as well as a Masters Degree candidate at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program - has developed an interactive installation with the collaboration of Mike Allison. "A stretched sheet of spandex acts as a membrane interface sensitive to depth that people can push into and create fire-like visuals and expressively play music." The installation uses a modded version of Microsoft Kinect, among other things. The project documentation can be found here. And here is a photo gallery.
