Description

As the pace of the world pulls us further from nature, Physis invites a return: a space-time sculpture built to restore that connection. Interacting with the rocks generates sound and visual art in real time, heightening perception and rebuilding a bond with the environment and with each other, a dialogue between human and nature. Inspired by land art, the piece is built with Arduino and capacitive touch sensors, with Resolume handling projection: touching symbols on the rocks activates different layers of visual texture and sound.
