A Stillness in the Dark

A Stillness in the Dark is a subtly interactive installation. Using multi-channel sound and electroluminescent wire the work will explore the use of space, movement, and interactivity. Built with Max/MSP interfacing with a microcontroller, the installation will play a musical sequence that is synchronized to sections of wire, illuminating as sound plays. As people enter the space, a camera will detect their movement and pause the work, and turning on when there is stillness.
