Ice Angel

2012
Interactive portraiture of one's angelic identity.

Blending modern digital manipulations with the playful act of creating snow angels, Ice Angel encapsulates the idea of the shared performance and allows the viewer to assume the role of both performer and portrait subject when interacting with the artwork.

As the viewer steps atop the raised platform and moves his or her arms, an oversized set of wings unfurls from the shoulders, moving and displacing virtual snow. The wings are created dynamically, with each bespoke set being specific to the participant. The artwork has a ‘memory’, capturing a hidden view of the individual and their angel wings; each angel identity remains linked to its participant for any future encounters with the work. Ice Angel was updated in 2015 with the introduction of interactive sound generated by the movement of the participant and their resulting ethereal wings.
