Responsive Public Space (RPS) is a performative audio-visual environment that explores intimacy and interconnectivity between people who find themselves in the same space at the same time. Different from common interactive artworks where participants are interacting directly with the artwork, here actors only can call alive the 'space' if they working closely with each other. RPS encourages participants to create their own “performative space” by interacting with their fellow participants. The experience intensifies by the number of actors within the space whose quality of relationship is represented through space-sensitive soundscape and its visual representation onto the architectural construction of projection surfaces hanged over participants to allow free movement within the space . The collective behavior and how participants manage their spatial relationship influences the quality of experience for each actor.In an interdisciplinary collaboration architects, artists, composers and computer vision specialists developed an environment where participants can enter, move around, and – through interaction with each other – experience different fragments of a action-sensitive sound and visual environment. The system uses a high-end tracking system in order to reliably track multiple participants in a public environemnt.This interactive work was selected by the expert jury panel for ISEA 2013’s Exhibition in Sydney (http://www.isea2013.org).
