Abstract(s)

This digital art installation has as main goal to introduce an interface through which the image of the city of Oporto (in Northern Portugal) is designed and activated by the presence of one or more people standing in the exhibition space. It brings up the metaphor of the city as a living organism allowing visitors to explore, at different levels, several features very typical of this city. A diversity of possible routes is embedded in the outfit and activated as visitors move across the exhibition space, revealing experiences by means of projected videos related to the cultural specificity of the city. In this way, as the human body interacts with the space and the screen, uncovering stories, memories, expressions, sounds, colours, textures, new designs and emotions are presented in the form of videos that narrate life fragments of Oporto and its people. Being supported by a mix of audio-visual records, FeelOpo intends to build "the beat of Oporto" through striking visual narratives.
