“Cycling Wheel” is created by Keith Lam, Seth Hon, and Alex Lai. They were inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel, and further transformed mechanics into light and sound.

In the design processes, there were three variables: music, light beam, led strips. Each was generated and controlled by electronic devices. 

The designers eventually transformed the computer-generated sounds into an exciting, appealing, and rather dramatic show.  They perform while generating music and light. Music and light together create a certain engaging rhyme that draws audience’s attention. Mechanics input is intricate and professional, whereas the final result is interactive. The complicated design logic is simplified into the motions of spinning and touching.
