|  The Interactive Artzone  | 
|    At Bumbershoot 1995    | 

Northwest CyberArtists (NWCA) is a group dedicated to bringing together artists and technologists to collaborate in the creation of innovative works of art and entertainment and push forward the boundaries of arts and technology experimentation. The Interactive Artzone at Bumbershoot - involved twelve unique installations which demonstrated how communication, education and creativity can be encouraged through the integration of various interactive multimedia technologies.

Packaged animations and computer art kiosks, and a laser - and foot - trigger activated "interactive pathway" responded musically to participants passing through to other installations.
