An interactive artwork installation commissioned by Olta and Arweave, for exhibition at Arweave Day 2025 conference in Berlin. Exploring dialogues between art and audience through natural motion, it connects people with each other across time through gestures, an emergent collaboration co-creating the artwork. The fluid flows with your motions, your hand is a print made of solid particles; occasionally trails of other handprints appear, shadows left by those before you – if your hand touches theirs before they dissolve, your handprint is traced into the artwork, another shadow for a future person to touch. Together, hands connect across the artwork, as you respond to each others’ gestures in a discourse, your shadows touch across time. Integrating my gl-mpm physics simulation tool for fluid-dynamics, glsl-optical-flow natural-motion interaction, and AI hand-tracking to capture traces of audience hand gestures and drive this dialogue.
