Abstract:

humanaquarium is a self-contained, transportable performance environment that is used to stage technology-mediated interactive performances in public spaces. Drawing upon the creative practices of busking and street performance, humanaquarium incorporates live musicians, real-time audiovisual content generation, and frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) technology to facilitate participatory interaction by members of the public.
