Looking Outwards 04: Sound Art

This project is an interactive responsive play space piece that makes “musical rhythms, harmonie and luminous patterns” based on peoples’ movements, both active and passive. It is designed to respond with generated surround sound and visual light (umbrella of sonic shade of light made by electro luminescent fibers) to peoples’ activity underneath it. It also has a custom designed software that collects online weather data and translates it into the light column umbrellas. I admire how aesthetically pleasing this is, and how easily interactive it is with the audience.

As an artist, I am drawn to more ethereal and subversive pieces, and love how this project transports the audience into a new world and space that directly responds to their movements ( like a world that grows and is almost alive around them.) I also love how each person becomes a sort of unique instrument to the composition of light, sound and space.

The artists (Loop.ph) wanted to combine design. Architecture, and science to break the boundaries of specialized and innovative thinking and creativity, which were manifested with their installation that had dream-like, delicate structure and ethereal light technology.
