I remember reading about Dynamicland on hacker news, I think quite a while ago. A few years ago (pre-covid) I went to the very popular art exhibit "teamlab borderless" in Japan, which was fascinating. While I understand their goals are completely different, looking at Dynamicland again today they look pretty similar in some ways visually and how they approach making things interactive. Beyond the fact of using projectors (and sensors) it seems like they have some of the same philosophy.

From dynamicland's website

"A humane dynamic medium embraces the countless ways in which human beings use their minds and bodies, instead of cramming people into a tiny box of pixels."

One guest, after spending time at Dynamicland, held up his smartphone and shouted, “This thing is a prison!”

From teamlab borderless "athletic forest exhibit" webpage

"Humans understand the world with their bodies and think with their bodies

Creating and telling stories that move people emotionally is not a skill that can be achieved only through repetitive training in writing compositions. Stories are spun from the experiences that are cultivated while exploring the world with our bodies.

Humans understand the world with their bodies and think with their bodies."
