Play, download and edit the free video Light Cloud - Interactive Light and Sound Room.

The Light Cloud is a large scale sound and light installation located at the
new Merck Innovation Center in Darmstadt, Germany. It was developed in
close collaboration with Tamschick Media and Space and iart.
Our contribution to this special project was to create an interactive and
generative sound environment that consists of more than 80 unique
soundscapes.

The main layout and design of the Light Cloud is inspired by the various
physical and emotional states of a living organism. Each audiovisual
composition reflects one character-trait of this artificial being: Anger, Fear
or Love, for example. During the day the installation rearranges our sound
compositions according to it’s state of mind so that on each visit the space
feels completely different.

The visitors experience a broad set of self-evolving scenarios that range
from playful musical compositions up to complex sound experiments.
We designed a 3D audio system integrated in the ceiling and the mirrors of
the room that completely enveloped light sculpture. The setup allowed us
us to literally control flying sound objects throughout the space and to
unfold sound worlds that are constantly in motion.

A hidden grid of motion sensors spread into the space continuously
changes the audiovisual appearance of the installation according to the
behavior and movement of the visitors. Sound, light and movement merge
to an interactive canvas.

In Order to deal with this complex technical setup, we invented an unique
multichannel audio standard to control and synchronize the visual with the
auditive world. This allowed us to orchestrate the 576 OLED panels in real
time and made it possible to literally draw light in space with sound.
