Light & Music

For one research project, I was hired to do the physical design of a two-part interactive installation series. Working with a team of musicians and one other artist, we created interactive works that sensed body movements and translated into audio and light displays.

One installation was a 8-ft long box of speakers sitting across from a light projection. When one person walked by each speaker, a tone would play. And when one person walked by the projection, a bar of light would be displayed. But when two people coordinated their movements, a full spectrum of colours and tones would be displayed.

For the second installation, I designed and built three chandeliers from acrylic rods. Red LEDs shone through the rods according to a bird flocking simulation that was controlled by audience movement below.
