e°Flow
Dynamic E-paper Sculpture
e°FLOW is an interactive sculpture that celebrates the unique capabilities of E Ink Prism™, a color-changing film developed by E Ink. The sculpture comes to life with visual behavior triggered by real-time sensor input; it senses the presence and movement of people and reacts like an elusive deep sea creature.

From a sleep stage with soft breathing interrupted by occasional "dreams," to reflecting the movements of passersby, to dramatic "startle" modes triggered by audience members waving their arms.
