Moon Theater by Nova Jiang & Michael Kontopoulos is staged at Santa Monica Beach on during the GLOW Art Festival at on Sunday, July 20, 2008. Extending the common hand-shadow play of simple forms (i.e. the cast shadow of a rabbit), this project interjects the responsive capacity of specially constructed software to recognize basic forms and generate appropriate responses. For instance, if a visitor creates a rabbit form, the computer could trigger a response in which that form jumps off the screen, which will be in the shape of a full moon.
