Pictured above is a scene from Parade, an interactive art installation by Laurent Craste at the Chromatic art festival in Montreal. We've previously seen his whacking on porcelain sculptures. Now he's being a bit more gentle. His porcelain candlesticks look fairly ordinary. But introduce a swinging work lamp, and they become elegant dancers.
They remind me of Lumière from Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Oops! And it didn't help that I misspelled his name. I'll fix that right now.

Laurent Craste is a man, according to his website.

They mention kinect and Unity in the video tags, so I guess they are trying to detect and make use of the light swing position.

It's an interesting idea but this isn't done with light and shadows. Those are computer graphics and a projector. I still like the clever design and interactive nature of the exhibit though.
