Realtime Data Artwork
e°FLOW is an interactive sculpture that celebrates the unique capabilities of E Ink Prism™, a color-changing film developed by E Ink. The sculpture comes to life with visual behavior triggered by real-time sensor input; it senses the presence and movement of people and reacts like an elusive deep sea creature.
From a sleep stage with soft breathing interrupted by occasional "dreams," to reflecting the movements of passersby, to dramatic "startle" modes triggered by audience members waving their arms.
​
The sculpture premiered at the 2015 SEGD conference in Chicago, followed by an exhibition at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. e°FLOW was also on display at Milan Design Week 2016 and featured prominently at the SuperStudio Design Show.
