O.T. 968 is an ambitious interactive digital artwork by Stefan Reiss, created for Ilford town centre in Redbridge.
The temporary artwork, a white sculptural installation measuring 8m x 5m x 5m, will be located in the middle of the High Road.
As darkness falls the interactive video brings the 3D screen to life using night time generative animation.
O.T.968 aims to bring visitors together and create an outstanding, sensual experience, where the audience can influence the vivid, interactive projection with their body presence and motion.
