Technologies: Processing, FaceOSC

I used Processing and FaceOSC to create this piece which takes video input and generates stars when the user opens his/her mouth and changes the star color when his/her eyebrows are raised. The stars will move about the screen, bouncing off the sides of the frame to be contained on the canvas, eventually dissipating after living for their designated lifespans.

A second version alternatively draws semi-opaque instead of completely opaque layers as the background for each frame, resulting in the stars’ trails being partially preserved, with the star eventually disappearing from view after enough layers have piled up.
