Bokeh
The digital tool BOKEH is a fascinating and innovative tool that offers an interactive and versatile experience for visitors to the Humboldt Forum. It is a versatile tool for the Kosmograf that can be adapted to different event formats using predefined settings and technical interfaces, demonstrating a creative connection between art and technology. The integration of audio inputs, processed by digital algorithms to control a reactive particle system with fluid simulation, links visual and acoustic elements together and generates an ever-changing fireworks display of colors and shapes.
The resulting shifting colors and shapes offer a unique visual experience that is constantly evolving and can be adapted to the specific situation and atmosphere. The combination of art, technology, and interactivity opens up new possibilities for creative expression and appeals to a wide range of visitors.
