Shadow Degrees // Lab Crew IL

Everyone has a shadow. When we walk at night under streetlights, moonlight or even starlight it is always there, by our side, following. Always close, sometimes on a wall, sometimes on the floor; big, small or exactly our size.
In this project the creators, Lab Crew IL (Orian Sharoni and Ronny Ziss), invite to explore and play with the shadows of passersby. Unlike ordinary shadows, they offer alternative ones.
This project makes use of a computer, webcam and a projector. The software was programmed using MatLab.
