# Interactive Multitouch Exhibitions 'Guten Touch' Blends Tech and Human Interaction By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-04-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guten-touch References: [chunnel](http://chunnel.tv/art-design/613/guten-touch) & [multitouch-barcelona](http://www.multitouch-barcelona.com/) 'Guten Touch' is an [interactive art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justine-emard) created by Multitouch Barcelona for the Red Bull Music Academy to prove that advanced technology and old-fashioned human interaction can exist as one in the same social sphere. 'Guten Touch' consists of two projected displays and a [multitouch wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hkmlc-smart-boards). There are three primary activities viewers can participate in: throwing foam balls to play 'Space Invaders,' creating a virtual pixelated painting using a brush and manipulating a digital object using their hands. The idea behind each 'Guten Touch' activity, according to Multitouch Barcelona, is that the line between the [physical world and the digital](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii) one is blurred.
