Concept
Motion Rhythm is an immersive installation that creates kinetic and sound patterns through the movement of people. It intends to capture the motion of walking and represent it at eye level, creating a connection between the body and its surrounding environment. It consists of a kinetic ceiling made of transparent bars with metal balls inside, so that it makes wave effects and sounds when someone steps below. The prototype we are presenting is a 1:10 scale model of the room, which has one mirror in each side to make the visual pattern infinite.
