Kelip-Kelip

Kelip-Kelip

Communication is important between human beings. In this installation, light is used as a signal of communication, just like how humans use words. Kelip-kelip means fireflies in English means.  When everyone gets to communicate with each other, our society can be even more simple and exquisite as Kelip-kelip. The installation was coded using OpenCV technology in Processing and displayed on the walls with projectors.

Inspiration

The idea & concept is inspired by fireflies as fireflies emit light to communicate with each other. Each species has a specific light pattern that they use to communicate with each other. Besides, they have their own specific color of light they produce such as vivid yellow, yellowish-orange, green and yellowish-green.

Interaction

Before the user enters, fireflies with low opacity and random speed fly around in the background. When the user enters, fireflies will spawn within the silhouette of the user. When two users are close to each other, their fireflies' color will change to the same color which means they're connected. When single user is interacting, the fireflies will portray in cool colors such as green, blue and purple. When multiple users are interacting, the fireflies will change into warm colors such as red and orange.
