Body/Shout/Sequence is the interactive installation that invites audience to make sound sequences structured with their own “Shout”voice and stop motion animations using their “Body”simultaneously. The web cam set in the middle of the wall as a screen, captures the audience. An audience’s shout triggers taking a photo with recording his/her voice. The recorded voice sound and a picture are played back repeatedly until next shout is input. The next photo and voice sound are captured and add to the tail of the previous pictures and sound. Therefore audience can create the continuous animated movie and sound sequence by themselves. People experience of making animations and original sound sequences by their own body and participations. The aim of Body/Shout/Sequence is to create a functional playground that draws out the creativity from the people.
