Protrude, Flow
by Sachiko Kodama, The University of Electro-Communications Probably the big hit of this year's show, this amazing installation enabled the computer to invade physical space, with a fluid containing magnetic particles which, when affected by sound translated into electromagnetic energy, produced kinetic, spiky sculptures. |

The Floating Words
by Satako Moroi, Japan Electronics College Speak into a funnel, and your words drip (in the form of water) out the other end, falling into a small pool. Speech recognition translates your words into text, and they appear in the water via a projection from above. You can stir the letters around with a spoon, or scoop them up and pour them. Very well done and enjoyed by many at the show. |

Gemotion
by Yoichiro Kawaguchi "Generative, emotional, interactive artwork" combines a responsive, tactile surface with abstract graphics to depict an "emotional" state of a virtual creature. Interactants push down upon the surface and it pushes back, while the enveloping projected visuals change accordingly. |
