YMYI - You Move You Interact - is an interactive digital art installation created at the University of Minho, Portugal, in the Master in Technology and Digital Art. YMYI uses emerging techical methods of computer vision and image processing to detect the user's body silhouette in real time. The movements of the body silhouette are tracked and the extreme points of the body are analysed and expressed in a graphical immerse environment. YMYI was fully developed in open source tools: and Super Collider. YMYI was designed to encourage a body performing dialogue with an artificial system. YMYI was created by João Martinho Moura and Jorge Sousa from University of Minho.
YMYI was presented, as a visual performance, in the 2008 International Symposium on Computational Aesthetics in Graphics, Visualisation, and Imaging, in Lisbon, Portugal.
