the flickering and motion of the interactive jellyfish are generated in real time trough
an algorithm, which applies the 1/f fluctuation theory and mathematical graphics extant
in the natural world. by harmonizing with the rhythm of a person's body, and stimulating
our sight and hearing, this installation is an attempt to deeply affect our physical senses.
