Abstract

Advances in technology provide artists with new opportunities for developing engaging works, however these often push the artist's technical ability. We address this issue in demonstrating that MIDAS can be applied to artistic practices with relative ease and at a low cost. The authors present, as a case study, A Touching Harmony - a flexible screen-based installation that explores depth as variable within user-interaction. We discuss the use of MIDAS within the implementation of the installation.
