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.

Key points

  • Conceptualise an interesting, fun, easy and interactive experience for large audiences; enabling all visitors to influence the installations
  • Hardware build up
  • Basic crowd flow guidance signs
