Addressed to pre- and early-school children,  along with their parents, guardians and teachers, the interactive playground is a part of the Media Kindergarten project, developed by the WRO Art Centre. This display of interactive objects and installations, aimed to stimulate artistic activity by means of creative play, contains four types of action fields:

The RGB (red-green-blue) room – child-scaled installation consisting of nine  transparent plastic cubes in basic colours; the accurately-pitched lightning of objects enables children, as they move between them, to observe the phenomena of additive colour mixing;

TEXTURES installation – the different natural textures, such as stones, water, steam, bark and grass, touched by chidren, become an original interface that initiates, through motion capturing system, a large- scale visual-sound animation;

PERSPECTIVE animation – children explore the rules and types of perspective while rearranging detachable elements of illustrated boards onto which computer animation is projected;

LIGHT PAINTING – the gestures of kids, playing with cheap glowing toys, are registered by the motion capturing system and transformed into large-screen graphic visualization;

All the presented activities, based on artistic interaction, develop child’s ability to use the contemporary tools and technologies of communication in the most creative and innovative way. While exploring the basic elements of the art language through modern media, kids are inspired to use their imagination and encouraged to cooperate with other participants. The exhibition is also addressed to mentally and physically handicapped, and to those endangered by social exclusion. Art becomes not only an excuse to have fun, it is also a space for integration within families and groups of different social status.
