multimedia design studio ENESS, known for producing distinctive works that cross the boundaries of art and technology, is taking their giant ‘sonic light bubble’ to tokyo. this vibrant installation is a six-meter wide living and breathing inflatable structure which pulsates with light and sound when approached and touched by visitors.

mori art museum has invited ENESS to exhibit at the roppongi art night festival, similar to white night melbourne and nuit blanche festivals around the world. ‘it’s an honour to be selected by mori art museum to exhibit this work, it’s one of my favourite contemporary art museums. we look forward to seeing the reaction from a new audience’, said creative director nimrod weis.

the ‘sonic light bubble’ is dotted with an array of addressable LED disks that shine inside and out. these custom disks act as a volumetric video screen providing mesmerizing 360 degree visual delights, day and night — while sounds are also reacting to the visitors on the outside. technically speaking, the sonic light bubble can be set up in two hours and dismantled in one.
