Interactive Environments and Physical Computing
The concept
Nube Ligera is an interactive installation that invites you on a journey through your own energy , mind and its impact on your surroundings.
The basic idea is to creates an interactive environment that awakens and enhances your presence and energy to reflect ones influence on nature. Sometimes our effect is positive and sometimes negative We wish to represent this effect with color, sound, movement and design taken from the natural world.
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
How it works
You walk into a dark space where in the center of it there is a floating “cloud” .Around the “cloud” there are six fans which are controlled by distance sensors. As you walk in, and approach the circle, you are detected by the sensors, that turn on the fans, creating wind that changes the form of the clouds.
The Color of the cloud changes depending on where you stand around the circle. Your presence, your energy, affects the clouds and the surroundings.
Setup
Hardware։ Six fans arranged in a circle on the floor each one with its own distance sensor.
Output։ The fan will turn on only when a person is standing or passing from in front of it. This will move the hanging fabric and effect the colors of the projection.
