Fractured Heart, Interactive art installation at National Film and Sound Archive, Australia
Fractured Heart is an interactive art installation at the National Film and Sound Archive that combines light projections with digital technology. The work responds instantly to your movements and creates ever-changing visual patterns based on how you move through the space.
The work was introduced in 2012 at the National Film and Sound Archive as part of efforts to blend art and technology together. This early piece was among the first attempts to present digital media as a serious art form in Australian museums.
The installation explores how people can express feelings and connect with others through digital means. You see your own movements translated into part of the visual story as you move through the space.
You can visit during regular opening hours and take time to explore how the projections respond to different movements. It helps to try various positions and speeds of movement to discover all the ways the installation can react to you.
The work lets you control light patterns through your physical movements and create your own artistic interpretation in real time. Every visitor generates a different visual story based on how they move and interact with the installation.
