Footprints interactive installation celebrates feet as mobile symbol

Footprints is a camera phone based interactive installation proposed for the Art Center Nabi for Mobile Asia Competition 2006. It celebrates mobility and diversity of the connected community through digital technologies. Feet are a symbol of being mobile.

The installation consists of multiple screens displaying images of different pairs of feet embedded in the floor. The images are from one perspective, that is the top-down, self point-of-view portrait of one's own feet at a particular location.

... The audience are asked to participate by uploading their top-down feet images from their camera mobile phone via MMS, email, this website, or wireless connection at the installation site. The images rotate around the grid to show as many images as there are in the system.
