Based on the story of Peter Pan, Neverneverland recreates the mood of the imaginary world. Using only one light source and colored surfaces an abstract shape is created. The piece also makes use of a webcam along with PD to track users as the walk towards the installation allowing the piece to respond to motion by increasing the brightness of the light. The representation of a land, “not Nerverland, but Neverneverland” shows how such a world can be the bridge between “reality and a virtual one.”
It would be fantastic if pieces similar to this were made easily affordable. I imagine a world where advertisements remain dim until motion is detected, thus saving energy in the process. In the home, as a specific family member walks by, their favorite painting or photograph is displayed or their to do list for the day. In fact, I wouldn’t mind if it was just affordable to have Neverneverland in my house because of it’s beauty, simplicity, and responsiveness.
