| Above, two dynamic art installations that react to their respective environments. Left: This photo was taken during production on an installation for the Korean Institute of Advanced Technology. A video display system selects playback from a variety of image loops created by artist Soun-Gui Kim. Its choices are made according to the outside temperature and humidity. Mad Systemss designed the sensors and computer interface, and installed the system. The installation also includes a clock that runs counter-clockwise. Right: A pillar at the International Terminal at Waterloo station in London changes color depending on the number of people nearby, and the color of their clothing. It also broadcasts continuous audio in a multitude of languages from news radio around the world. | ||

The above enclosure surrounded a popular exhibit at London’s Millennium Dome, which collected audio recordings for a time capsule. Some 32 household objects were rigged to speak to visitors, ask them questions and record their (often hilarious) replies for posterity. Mad Systems configured and installed a 32-channel, asynchronous simultaneous audio recorder/ replay unit based on a single IBM PC compatible computer. |

| This device for the Guinness Book of World Records Museum in Hollywood is entertaining and educational as it demonstrates the principle of probability. It uses air pressure and optical technology to propel a random stream of colored balls into a series of vertical channels, where they form a Gaussian bell shape. It was designed and built entirely by Mad Systems, and stands more than seven feet high. |
