Description:

Connection is a stunning and large scale immersive art installation exploring the profound theme of humanity. Combining the elements of light, sound, and thousands of hanging ropes, this artwork offers a transformative experience where participants can wander through and truly engage with the nature of human connection.

As individuals wander through "Connection," they enter a space filled with endless possibilities for interaction. The countless strands of luminous rope invite visitors to engage with their tactile senses. Participants can run their hands along the strands, feeling the tangible connections that bind us all. The physical contact with the ropes serves as a reminder of our shared humanity

As the participants touch their hand to one of the eight posts supporting the roof- a pulse of light shoots up the post and into the grid above - creating a ripple of colour accompanied by unique sounds. A multi channel sound design accompanies the work and is fully interactive. As different combinations of touching the posts are triggered - special lighting and sound sequences are unlocked.
