TRiCKSTR

an audiovisual environment with artificial personality

TRiCKSTR is an audiovisual environment. It consists of a large pixel light wall, loudspeaker, a pressure-sensitive and camera-monitored action arena, as well as a generative and interactive sound and image software. In addition, this complex environment includes a voice that demonstrates the readiness to communicate whenever humans step into the action arena. When there is no longer anyone on the action floor, Trickstr enters regenerative mode, i.e., lapses into contemplation about itself.

The Trickstr is an alchemist, a magician, creating realities in the duality of time and illusion…
