User generated art created by the Blue Noise Department involves audience participation and aims to maximize user involvement in the artwork. They create interactive installations and experiences using technology like sensors, cameras, and software to enable users to interact with and influence the artwork. Some past projects include "I Sound Therefore I Am" which turned participants' voices into music, and "Powerplay" where users could sculpt monuments out of foamboard using a web-connected power tool.
