REFLEXION – In Sync / Out of Sync

“Light allows me to embody imagination by projecting a mental image that due to its immaterial character cannot be displayed by any other material, since only light can give form to the intangible. In the interactive light and sound installation REFLEXION – In Sync / Out of Sync – two visitors are invited to sit close to each other surrounded by a light structure made of electroluminescent wires to pursue the synchronisation of their heartbeats, which are measured via finger pulse sensors to steer sound and light of the art work. When the frequencies of their heartbeats diverge, the installation responds in an Out of Sync state and the sound becomes dissonant; however, when they are close to synchronisation or fully synchronised, the installation reacts in an In of Sync state, with agreeable and non-dissonant sound in the immersive soundscape.
