I couldn’t finish out the semester without one last post with critters in. While this video is not exclusively about responsive art, per se, it does contain some pretty fun innovations (and has penguins).

In particular, the interactive wall adds the dimension of movement to other interactive surfaces we’ve already seen. It can be pre-programmed for specific movements, or to react in certain ways to certain stimuli. Lights and music are also integrated, making this the most strictly decorative creation from Festo.

(And I couldn’t stop thinking of the Curse of the Were-Rabbit every time they said Festo. The British accent didn’t help.)
