WONDERSPACES: WE ARE ALL MADE OF LIGHT

We Are All Made of Light is an immersive art installation about our interconnectedness created for Wonderspaces exhibit tour across the USA. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the universe, the installation uncovers the often-overlooked connections between us and the rest of the world. Using a unique combination of projectors and reflecting materials, a large dark space is densely populated with dynamic constellations of millions of stars. As visitors move among the stars, the light extrudes in their shape, leaving volumetric light trails of their presence across the starscape.

Once visitors leave, their light trails 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 space. The piece has received the international award for the best interactive artwork, Lumen Prize for Art and Technology.

The spatialized sound composition was developed by Marcin Paczkowski to accompany the interactive visual experience of being one among the stars. Just like the visual content, it is created algorithmically to continuously evolve without repeating the same state. Each iteration of the piece is unique, adapted to the specific site, and with unique audiovisual content.
