In a two day workshop multimedia artist Gabriela Prochazka collaborated with TU Delft students to create a new species of media-driven interactive underwater creatures for the canals of Delft. Made from scratch, several types of plastics, addressable LEDs, microcontrollers and a serious scheme for waterproofing come together in a nearly (IP67) certified digital underwater creature.
Gabriela Prochazka has a focus in light art, immersive works and audiovisual collaborations. Preceding underwater artworks of her hand have earlier surfaced in waters across Europe including Signal Festival in Prague, RGB Light Fest in Rome and here in Delft in Towing Tank No.1
The digital underwater creatures workshop is a collaboration between Gabriela Prochazka, HighLight festival, TU Delft’s ActLab (X) and the Crossing Parallels programme.

# Art Installation #Luminal Art #2-day Workshop
It is a 2-day workshop for participants to create an interactive underwater creatures that are media-driven. These luminous creatures were finally exhibited in the canals of Delft. We designed the form and use laser-cut and hot melt gun to shape the form. Then we used a combination of strip lights and open source programming to achieve a generative light show, which is reminding people of deep sea creatures. We transformed the jellyfish into an abstract form and embeded a lighting system in it.
