VITA, Responsive Art System. The virtual character is represented both by a blue light and a blue human form, which functions as an energy field rather than an actual identifiable individual. When Vita recognizes a visitor’s presence, its mechanical environment changes. The shift manifests as altering imagery and an outpouring of sounds in the designated space. The installation, which was presented at the GL2 Gallery in Chicago (2006), collapses the separation of body and mind. This metamorphosis occurs when infrared sensors locate the participants and temperature sensors in the tubing detect touch.
