About this event

by CaptinCaptin and Parag K Mital
6 December – 21 January 2011

A new interactive installation by captincaptin and Parag K Mital, Responsive Ecologies explores notions of captivity, collective behaviour and human-nature social relations. The forms of interaction within the work take inspiration from the study of ecology (the relations of organisms, and their interactions with the environment) and reflect upon the possible implications of our actions and activities on the sustainability of future ecologies. As each individual visitor has the capability to expand or constrain the experiences of others, a coordinated approach is required in order to see the installation in its completed form.

Responsive Ecologies is a multi-screened enclosed projection in which a collection of videos are deconstructed and interlaced in response to audience interaction within the space. This installaion was produced through captincaptin’s ongoing collaboration with ZSL London Zoo and Musion Academy, and includes other works created through this partnership.

Gareth Goodison and Jonathan Munro have been working collaboratively as captincaptin since 2007, creating installations and sculptures, which interact and respond to public presence, and question the role of audience participation in the display and creation of contemporary art. They have presented their work at various new media events including Futuresonic Festival, Abandon Normal Devices, Leeds Expo, and the V&A.  Parag K Mital is a computational visual artist and PhD student at Goldsmiths Computing Dept. investigating questions of liminality, perception, and attention in mixed reality environments.
