Organism

Director & Media Artist & installation: Ruipeng Wang

"Organism" employs facial recognition to capture natural expressions—such as a subtle eyebrow lift, a blink, or a simple mouse movement—and translate them into interactions with 3D digital organisms. This work explores how everyday human gestures blend seamlessly with digital environments, suggesting that our shared moments of expression form a coherent living system where the digital and physical realms can resonate and empathize.
