A diagram of SHADOW, an installation by Adam Frank.

SHADOW is an interactive installation that projects a disembodied, autonomous, human shadow on the ground. This apparently living shadow attempts to merge itself with the viewer's real shadow. When this occurs, the invisible figure, implied by the virtual shadow, inhabits the viewer's own personal space. Real-time 3D graphics and video sensing are used to produce this work of interactive light. SHADOW was created while in residence at EYEBEAM NYC.
