The effect of Joon Y. Moon’s ghostly
ecosystem of shadow creatures and
objects is created with blocks on
a tabletop that functions as a rear-projection
screen and has a computer,
infrared camera, and light source installed
below it. The shadows exist in both a
real and fantasy environment; animations
transform the blocks into houses and
awaken creatures around them. Moving
the blocks around the table sets off
programmed reactions: people gravitate
toward a light source, trees grow around
it, and birds fly away from the dark.
