Today, I set off to explore. I’ve been feeling a creative itch that I’ve needed to scratch—dreaming of art and its intersection with the digital realm. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to create an interactive installation, almost becoming obsessed with the idea. Well, today I stumbled upon one. First, I discovered it through social media, and then I tracked it down to a park and went to visit it in person. Simple, yet entertaining. I think it’s more about the concept: Iregular – waterfall.

It’s the idea of creating the art, right? As I dug deeper into the artist and the installation itself, I’d agree it’s art, and yes, it’s interactive. But something about taking one piece of art, making a slightly different iteration, and presenting it as a whole new installation bothers me. That’s the nature of the game, though, isn’t it? You create something, then create something else, whether it’s a remix of what’s been done before or something entirely new.

Still, I’m left wondering—how interactive can an installation truly be? After all, it’s just motion sensors and LED screens. Projection art is another big trend. For example, there’s ARTECHOUSE, which is a spin-off of a New York creative. Then, there are other Instagram-friendly spots like the Color Factory or Seismique, and now there’s another art bar, if you will, called Meow Wolf, which originated in Santa Fe, NM. I also wrote an article about an installation at the POST, although I think I posted that article on X rather than on my own site.

Here we are now—Houston BTC. Still not sure if I like the name, but we’re sticking with it for now. Back to my point: I want to create an art installation. I want to build something interactive, like what I visited today. It’s fascinating, but it’s also challenging, especially without any financial support. I guess I’ll start by making a budget, accepting the tools I have now, and working from there.

This will be another one of my projects. There will be more to come. Thanks for reading.
