Venus for Venice

In colloboration with Platipus, Studio Roosegaarde developed an interactive artwork named "Venus for Venice" on a 14,4 x 4 metre screen.

Venus for Venice detects bluetooth capable smart phones in it's vicinity and makes them part of the Venus for Venice experience. Each phone contributes visual elements to the Venus for Venice animation and receives a bluetooth copy of the artwork to run on the mobile's screen. Through this system the visitors influence the artwork and participate in a virus like spreading of the artwork.
