/walk amidst a playscape of light + sound
//story
Walking through the clouds is a feeling we can only experience in our dreams. For Calgary's Beakerhead festival, we wanted to create a way for people to play among fluffy clouds while here on earth. We designed our second iteration of Sound Clouds (see Illuminate Yaletown) as inflatables with LED light cubes inside, shaped like cumulus clouds. As people walked around the installation that we set up in a downtown Calgary park, the clouds responded with digital sounds and also coloured animations.
Made of soft tyvek material, Sound Clouds are inviting to the touch, which is what people do first when they see the structures on the ground. More than anything, they change the feel of a space and people light up with child-like grins as they walk amidst the dreamy landscape.
Aside from Beakerhead, our Sound Clouds have also provided the atmosphere at the entrance to TED 2016 and at a special meditation event with Kit + Ace.
