48 mobile illuminated panels installed beside the water transcribe the urban movements captured in the crowd to provide incredible displays of reflections and lights.
The stroller observes the stage set and becomes an unwitting component of this cybernetic installation in the city.
It is all based on the detection of flows: passers-by, cars, the water… transcribed in real time onto the 48 mobile illuminated panels.
Each signal caught by the sensors is transmitted from one installation to the next, creating a wavelike movement.
The panels turn on their vertical axis alternately showing their shiny black side and their matt silvery side, creating optical effects in black and white, like shifting bar codes.
At night, these alternating reflections are relayed by red and white LEDs.
A form of “communication” is thus established between the living and the machine.
