A cool interactive art piece presents tiny creatures aware of human visitors.
Hiding in the shadows created by different products on the table, these little creatures slowly present themselves and run away if human presence is apparent.
These mysterious life forms show themselves only in the shadows cast by products, not humans.
The Kage no Sekai art piece kind of reminds us of the childhood times when we wondered if something was hidden in the shadows. If you are interested in reading more about the concept and implementation, you can find it at their pdf: Interactive Animation of Shadow Based on Physical Action. You can also see a video of these little guys below.
