Our schemas is a podcast and presentation series focused on Schema Therapy and other mental health topics, hosted by Adaptér Creative Technology Knowledge Center. In Bánkitó Festival 2024, the Adaptér team wanted to raise awareness about the series through an interactive installation that responded in real time to audience participation.

Development

The installation took place inside a pavilion structure, where four synchronized projectors cast the visuals outward, making the experience immersive and visible from every direction.

Festival visitors could complete a short maladaptive schema test on their phones – each question corresponded to a specific schema. We had the idea of visualizing the responses using Voronoi cells, with each cell representing a schema. The size of each cell changed dynamically based on the averaged results – growing or shrinking in real time as users submitted answers. Because the cells were relative in size, they constantly influenced one another’s shape and movement.

The cells organically moved together, and after a duration of no activity from the online test, they started to behave differently. The whole system was actually built using tiny particles that acted like they were the pixels in the Voronoi structure. This approach gave me freedom to play with different animation techniques.
