Sol & Mass

[Tekst dostępny tylko w języku angielskim] The power of the individual in the community is made tangible through sound.
The variations of lights and shadows, generated by individuals within an environment, will shape the sound.

In a candlelit room, photoresistors will perceive the slight fluctuations of light and transform them into sound. This will give life to a completely quiet environment. The presence of individuals within the environment will gradually disturb this stillness, leading to chaos. Individuals will thus tend to move away and everything will return to a state of stillness generating a continuous cycle, metaphor of the world itself.
