Interactive Installation as part of a research

As this installation was part of a crowd flow research done by Technical University of Eindhoven, we had to deal with strict research requirements. We had to be creative as we had to deal with limitations regarding conceptualisation
The more exuberant visitors move, more and brighter leds will shine
The installation from the visitor's perspective
A visitor interacting with the installation
The team
The more energy is 'put in' the interaction zone, the more light will appear

Project info

Moving Light is a project consisting of two parts; an interactive light installation and a crowd flow experiment. The main goal of the project was to measure the influence of different light scenarios on the crowd flow. The role of our interaction experience team –which I was part of- was to create a playful, dynamic and fun interactive light installation prior to the research area to segment, but more importantly to engage the crowd flow.

Inspired by a tesseract the 5x5x3m sized light installation is suspended above GLOW 2017 visitors. Through moving together, these visitors create a joint light effect. The more energy people put into their movement, and the more people take part, the more spectacular the light experience becomes.
