An Ars Electronica Exhibition at the Singapore Science Centre
Images of virtual butterflies are projected into the steam.
When a visitor touches a butterfly perched on the column, it flies up. Additionally, if the visitor tries to catch the flying butterflies, the butterflies will fly away and disappear from view. If visitor continue holding up a hand to steam for a while, butterflies will flock around the visitor's hand and will begin to play. The visitor who touches artwork see the steam which comes out of the upper part of a column. Steam is used as an interface and screen, and a steamy temperature and the warmth of a living thing are associated.
And, we are treating the "butterfly" as organic existence born from inorganic existence.
