hong kong self portrait - the interactive shop window - is a prototype interactive installation at the benetton mega-store in causeway bay, hong kong which lets the people of hong kong collaborate on a movie made of tens of thousands of faces.
using a new sensor technology developed in london, fabrica has turned the shop window into an interface which people outside the store can touch and interact with. when you touch the window, a camera inside takes a picture of your face - each new picture is saved and added to an growing sequence of pictures.
the project has proved highly popular - more than 1000 people add their image each day and the resulting moving image sequence - or movie - is an engaging and powerful testimony to the people of hong kong.
apart from the development of internet sites that have won many international awards, new media projects also address web design, video art, interactive games and multimedia events.
