Abstract

As a supporting means for self-creating bodily expression, shadow media system was developed with which shadow is artificially deformed into diverse forms and such deformed shadow can be displayed on a screen without separating it from the own body. With the system, it was found that the awareness was established inside the body via deformed shadows; therefore it can support an improvised creation of the images. Furthermore, by the subject-object inseparable interaction through shadows, co-creation of images with others was encouraged. Accordingly, it was indicated that this media system is promising and effective to support co-creative expression and shows its potential applicability as a creative archive technology to connect to past people.
