electric moOns /// balloon ballet
A hundred white balloons in a completely darkened room are floating in space like the atoms of a molecule. They are moving up and down slowly and gracefully. The balloons appear as floating three-dimensional pixels arranged in a 10x10 grid. The pixels combine together to make a larger form. The weightless objects represent three-dimensional digital data set in a dynamic display sculpture composed of physical particles.
The interactive balloon ballet is built out of both synchronized movement and lighting. A screen-based interface commands the balloon ballet to move in sync to a chosen musical piece. The user can control the movement and lighting of each balloon independently. Morphing 3D shapes and patterns are blended with an overlay of supporting or counteracting light animations.
The "electric moOns" installation is probably the world’s largest physical 3D display.
