My long time experience in traditional and digital animation drove me into the idea that user changes several key factors of an animation such as keyframes, characters or environment and gets involved in highly interactive experience rather than just watches what happened in a screen.
Mr. Tech is a puppet with flex sensors in its arms and legs to capture user input and send data to Processing sketches, a series of animation consisted of three episodes of its daily life, cycling, gardening and exercising.
Users can control the action of the virtual character and create their own narratives by controlling the arms and legs of Mr. Tech. It is also responding to the stories by showing its emotions, happiness or sadness, with facial expressions on LED dot matrix.

Missing Mysticeti is an abstract animation designed to be displayed on four wall-sized screens in a room. The primary purpose of this project is to encourage the audience to create their own narrative. To meet this goal, I have combined three elements, visual, sound and motion, together on multiple screens projecting multiple perspectives.
Entering the installation area, the audience will be surrounded by four wall-sized screens on which abstract shapes are animated and sounds are synchronized narratively and technically. All screens display different animations respectively, but are closely connected narratively. I designed two of the narratively connected screens to face each other.
All animations displayed on four screens are synchronized to the same timeline and sound track. The connection of the three elements will then create new characteristics that evoke the audience’s emotions and memories. An algorithmic approach makes it possible to control visual, sound and motion elements at the same time and as a result, combines them into a new language. This approach allows one of them to influence the other. In this project, I used Processing and After Effect for the visual elements and Pure Data for sound production and playback. All three elements are controlled by Pure Data.
