This stunning interactive lighting design project by Dominic Harris, and his team at Cinimod Studio, creates a band of white light that physically follows the visitor, forming a bright line of light tracking their journey. As one person passes, the white light jumps to the next arrival. Either side of the white band, washes of strong colour are pushed and pulled along the tunnel creating an ambient lighting effect that represents the overall ebb and flow of the day’s visitors. Throughout the day it is expected there will be a shift in the hue and saturation of these colours as they respond to the prevailing direction of movement of the crowds." I was so intrigued by the light and how it followed me and then jumped to the next person.

I was so intrigued by the light and how it followed me and then jumped to the next person. It’s a given that light changes space, but in Walk The Light it becomes you, the visitor, who determines that change in the lighting. Using a combination of technologies, including thermal camera tracking and Philips LED lighting mounted on a moving monorail, Walk the Light demonstrates lighting design’s increasing sophistication as it playfully – and beautifully – transforms the experience of arriving at the museum.

I think interactive art is so cool and being apart of the way a piece is represented through my interaction is a great experience. I can't wait to go discover more interactive design in the last day of London Design Week!
