"KODAMA"
Hisako Kroiden Yamakawa · 2005
I created "KODAMA" to demonstrate my sensation of solidified human voices in conversation."KODAMA" is an interactive installation. The "KODAMA" are tree fairies that live in the forest who listen to human voices and mimic their sounds. They are visually depicted as bubbles or pockets of air that move around a projection of the forest. Their movement on screen is controlled by the movement of the audience detected by motion sensors. The audience's voices are captured and re-played by the "KODAMA".
