Finalist: Melbourne Design Awards 2012

This project consisted of an inflatable structure wrapped in a swarm of flocking creatures. Visitors could move around the inflated volume or enter it, provoking the installation to express an “emotional” response through lighting, sound and the movement of its texture. The resulting experience proved popular, especially with children who were happy to shed play in the unusual “cave”. This experimental exhibit explored performative characteristics of hybrid, digital-and-physical architectural environments combining emergent effects of self-organising agent systems, non-standard architectural geometries, digital sensing and interactive, generative light and sound.

To date, the installation was shown twice: in Open Stage Theatre at the University of Melbourne and during PauseFest 2011.
