This is an interactive system that allows us to interact with the transformed self of real physical shadows. Fragment Shadow system creates a unique projection space with a large screen surface from multiple projectors by comprehensive spatial geometry and color calibration process. When human bodies enter the projection space, shadows are no longer just usual black visual objects. Fragment Shadow generates various visual expressions in the optical shadow such as fragmented, transformed, textured, and even immersed in the graphics. Your real shadow is restructured into novel visuals unexpectedly, yet with infinite resolution and zero latency since the shadow is a physical phenomenon. We still recognize transformed shadows as “self” and attribute those transformations to ourselves.
