To promote the release of Adobe's Creative Suite 3, the studio Brand New School created a Flash-driven, 10' by 25' interactive wall mural whose imagery is motion-activated by nearby viewers. Working under the agency Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners, BNS' animation uses infrared sensors to detect pedestrians walking closest to the wall and will start playing music and images in time with the pace of the viewer.
Watch the video and get the full list of credits here. Read The New York Times's article here.
PRINT reviewed Creative Suite 3 in our May/June issue. We also wrote about Brand New School last September as part of our article on the re-emergence of psychedelia.
