WAVE consists of some five hundred individual suspended orbs, points brought to life through light and sound, that collectively create a dynamic audiovisual experience. The work continues Squidsoup’s ongoing explorations and obsession with elemental themes, particularly water. Each orb in WAVE features LED lights, speaker and microcomputer, with movement sensor and wireless connectivity. Together they create a walkthrough experience; 500 points of light, 500 voices, interconnected using Internet of Things technology and acting in choreographed harmony to create a series of immersive environments – a sanctuary in this crazy world.
