Make the light vibrate to the rhythm of your movements
Parallels is an innovative installation combining light art and collective interaction. Approaching the work reveals a moving luminous landscape that reacts to your presence. Each structure is equipped with light tubes fitted with sensors that analyze their variations. Feel free to handle them. Your movements act as a trigger, changing the colour, rhythm and direction of the light, while also influencing the soundscape and projections that inhabit the space.
