Light and sound animate a rippling tide of suspended orbs
Wave is an immersive experience; 500 autonomous points of light, 500 voices, interconnected and acting in choreographed harmony to create an otherworldly sanctuary. Each orb in the canopy is an individual sensate unit consisting of LED lights, speaker and microcomputer with movement sensor and wireless connectivity.
Squidsoup have just returned from Burning Man, a temporary city/festival in the Nevada desert (USA), where they exhibited two works, including Wave.
