My program Lines was specifically designed to be shown in the Deep Space in Ars Electronica Centre Linz. The idea behind the program is inspired by the entry hall of the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. By entering the Deep Space floor, a line is drawn beneath the visitor. Each visitor becomes part of a rectangular pattern made up of lines. Visitors can decide themselves how long and large their line should be. This creates an individual path in terms of direction, size and length as chosen by visitors. By leaving the projection floor and the tracking system, the created line disappears from the floor, moving up to the projection wall. By having different people create different lines with different properties, a pattern of lines appears. The program was originally programmed to be in black and white, but some more advanced versions of it exist featuring color as well.
