The document proposes using gestural interfaces to advertise musicians in public spaces by creating an interactive art installation and music video. The installation would project two screens onto a building in Williamsburg - a music video on one screen and a ballerina that follows the viewer's movements on the other. The viewer's gestures detected by a Kinect sensor would control the flow of the video, allowing them to interactively engage with the piece and experience the poetics of the song. The goal is to showcase the musician while inviting the viewer to participate.

IF PIXEL CHANGE HAPPENS FROM THE LEFT - ROLL CLIP
TURN CAMERA OFF
ACTIVATE INFRARED SENSOR
IF PIXEL CHANGE IN THE MIDDLE AND NO MOVEMENT, QUE VIDEO
IF PIXELS JUST LEFT, QUE VIDEO
IF SWINGING HAND, QUE VIDEO
