Oblivion

Oblivion is an interactive video piece by Paolo Tonon.

Oblivion transforms real time video input in a three dimensional grid of colored cubes. It also “learns” the background and when a person or an object comes in the camera scope the cubes that form person’s image come forward to spectator’s point of view.

Oblivion is made in Processing, music on video is courtesy of Donnacha Costello.

You can download the source code. To try it you need a webcam, once the program started go outside the camera scope and click left mouse button. Enjoy!

Confession 2.0 sins shaped on Marylin Manson portrait

Confession 2.0 sins shaped on Marylin Manson portrait


Confession 2.0 is a networked installation first featured at New Media Art Festival Pixxelpoint 2008, in collaboration with Cristiano Poian. You can see some installation’s photos.



Confession 2.0 was a physical/virtual environment in which the believer/user can experiment again the intimacy of
catholic confession; in real time, the sins entered by users are sent to the internet, sniffed by another computer and graphically represented and mapped shaping known faces and images that deal with the concept of “sin” and “religion” using the clusters of text
inserted. At the same time, the sins are published in real time on a delegated Twitter space, and are spread in the Internet. Confession 2.0 puts together publicity and intimacy, absolution and dissemination.
