Description: SPIN FLICK IS AN INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION THAT INCORPORATES A LIGHT SENSITIVE SURFACE MADE FROM 504 LIGHT SENSORS , A FEW COINS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, 10 CUSTOM PROGRAMMED MICROCONTROLLERS, AND 64 LIGHTS TO CREATE AN ABSTRACT TIMEBASED NARRATIVE FROM THE FLICKING AND SPINNING OF A SIMPLE COIN. IN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES ONE TRIGGERS EVENTS EITHER PASSIVELY OR ACTIVELY AND THEN SPECTATES ON THE FEEDBACK FROM THE SYSTEM. SPIN FLICK IS AN INTERFACE THAT EXTENDS THE VIEWER'S INITIAL GESTURE OF FLICKING A COIN USING THE SPINNING DANCE OF THE COIN TO CREATE A REAL-TIME ENCODED LIGHT DANCE ON A LARGER SCALE THROUGH THE ROOM.
