Tentacles is an art piece made up of two parts. A large-scale, responsive projected environment displaying avatars in a shared space and a unique application that turns your Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod touch into a remote controller. Together, these two features of Tentacles enable individual viewers, players or passersby to participate in a multi-user, location-based, game-like experience projected into public spaces.

Tentacles has been developed for public cultural events and projected onto walls in galleries, multiple screens at festivals, and onto the sides of buildings. It has been installed in Belfast, Montreal, Sao Paulo, Toronto, and Weimar.

Tentacles is now installed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as part of the Talk to Me: Design and the Communication Between People and Objects, July 24 – November 07, 2011.
