The Hum: Interacting with an Actuated Ambient Organism

The Hum is an immersive art installation filled with hundreds of suspended furred catkins surrounding a cocoon. As visitors enter the space, catkins twitch, shiver and hum. In The Hum, we explore the idea of computers that communicate ephemerally through alterations of room and space.
