My conference project has evolved from a heads-up display to a motion activated aura. The first versions of my new aura project had a camera background and the aura randomly shifted color. Now It has evolved into two mirrored auras on black and white backgrounds. I am currently experimenting with multiple colors and more circular aura shapes. I think that this project creates a magic circle by mesmerizing its users.
This conference project is inspired by the artist Hilma af Klint. She was an early abstract artist who was a practicing mystic. Her artwork was used to represent complex spiritual ideas in the inner and outer world. Her artwork often contained split backgrounds with high contrast color. Because of her work, I am using split black and white backgrounds and circles to represent the aura.
