WE ARE ALL MADE OF LIGHT

An immersive art installation about our interconnectedness was created for MadArt Studio. The piece utilizes custom artificial intelligence (AI), interactive light, and spatial sound to emulate a constellation in which every person becomes one among the stars. The natural beauty of the universe is evoked to reveal connections between us and the rest of the world that often stay hidden in plain sight. The piece has received the international award for the best interactive artwork, Lumen Prize for Art and Technology.

As visitors move through the galaxy of stars, the light is extruded in their shape, leaving light trails of their presence across the starscape. Once visitors leave, their trails of light remain in the constellation and are added to the collection of trails that others have left behind. With every new visit, the number of light trails increases and reflects the growing history of the space. Each new person visiting the space is immersed in a starscape filled with light that marks the presence of everybody who was part of the piece. Over time, the exhibiting space becomes an archive of people's presence and evidence of how all of us are connected to others, past and present.
