Highly Explosive

Highly Explosive is an interactive work in which shooting a toy gun at a target triggers explosive visuals and loud sounds in the background.

The project was made as one of the final presentations at ITP Camp 2024 at New York University. It was developed collaboratively after Christoph, a participant from Germany, asked me to create explosion visuals.

Based on the theme of explosion, I created two types of visuals: one in which a character explodes, and another in which paint bursts and drips downward.

The visuals were created in Processing using particle control. I also worked on the physical target and adjusted the projection surface for the installation.
