I actually do have a wonderful installation along these lines (think Elephants, Stallions and Giraffes) but which has yet to find the right exhibit/curator, so she waits and waits still. Next! So what could I possibly propose to peak the interest of a been-there-done-that 12-year-old? Actually, for years she’s been asking me to make something that matters, you know, something people might actually care about, like, for example, something with horses. When she was four she shook the third arm of Stelarc, at five she was introduced to a man named Naut Humon, and over the years has met all sorts of other wonderful extraterrestrial constructs. It networks halfway across the globe and into space? Hasbeen. Twenty million screens and a gazillion sensors? Yeah whatever.

The software is simple: movement increases the sound of various looped sound effects, here of horses galloping and neighing. The software uses OpenCV and the OpenFrameworks environment (v0.5, modified for Optical Flow support). While using the costumes is not required, using the costumes adds an immeasurable factor of fun. The software was designed for use with various cardboard horse costumes.

Henniraof is an attraction created for the Eniarof Festival v0.4.
