An interactive, cross-media cognitive space designed to release your inner sound through movement.
 
Our installation aims to explore the connections between human movement and the shadows they create. The correlation between them will be emphasized and matched through music. The audience will be guided to a marked space in the center of the room and be allowed to move about freely within that space. Any form of movement, dance or gestures will be encouraged.
 

Catching their movements through motion sensors on the wall, our arduino/RasberryPi device will use a code to play sounds of various instrumental music. This music will match the speed, tempo and rhythm of the movement created by the audience. Our audience will get the chance to experience an environment that does not require verbal communication to express what they feel in that very moment.
