Home(less)

Home(less) is the first part of a comprehensive series of installations exploring how interactive technologies can be used within traditional mediums. What had initially started as a project meant for music soon turned into a project about my own life, exploring my identity and concept of home through interactive story-telling. Using the Leap Motion controller for hand detection, viewers are invited to engage in an intimate experience where their placing a hand in the sensor's range triggers a narration of a story to begin playing. The movement of the viewer's hands begins to reveal images that accompany each story, and moves the audio in quadphonic space, adding depth to traditional storytelling. By placing the left hand into view, the viewer triggers stories in English, whereas by placing their right hand they trigger stories in Lithuanian, my mother tongue (for those 10% of you who are left-handed, I hope you forgive me for presuming most people interacting with the work will be right-handed). The simple addition of a Leap Motion controller turns the work into something both meditative and compelling, where the viewer's experience in learning how to interactive with the work allows them enough time to become interested in my story, and then continue listening simply because I've got their attention.

Home(less) in a new form: single user interaction and experience, headphones and TV in place of quadphonic audio and rear-projection.
