ENESS’ sonic light bubble installation in melbourne responds to human interaction

at the center of the ‘light in winter festival’ at melbourne federation square stands the ‘sonic light bubble’ – a giant synthetic organism that responds to movement. the art installation includes an array of addressable LED plates which are inserted onto the surface of the structure. these custom disks act as a volumetric video screen providing mesmerizing 360 degree visual delights, day and night.

the clear inflatable bubble by multimedia design studio ENESS aims to attract passers by to interact with public art. visitors to the city could watch the six meter diameter structure expand into its entire form, and observe how their movement caused its lights to change in color and intensity.
