"Be careful what you wish for, Bradley"

 

Bradley is an Interactive Puppet controlled by a Kinect controller. The installation will mymic the posture of the person standing in front of it. Bradleys limbs are controlled by 7 servos, that are connected to an Arduino board, and linked to an Adobe Air application.

 

Over the past 18 months I have been experimenting with the Kinect controller and installations that present a mirror to the audience. I believe I have gone full circle now. the Kinect detects the physical objects and perons in the room, and creates data that is usefull in your computer. I have used this data now to put it back into a physical installation. The materials and the jerky motions of the motors, give extra depth to Bradleys character.
