Description: Medialab Scholarship development of an interactive lighting installation.

Concept: The techno-scientific research approach on neuronal networks behaviour, it offers a wide inspiratif speculative field. This artwork walks this strange path from technology back to the nature and their shapes [1]. It recreates an organic organism with a self-character and a kind of raw self-expression: kinetics[2], lighting[3] sound and reactivivity[4]. This artificial "soul-design" performes an audiovisual-abstract response that is driven by an interaction design based on users performance in the exhibition artwork territory

The interest of this installation is the subjective experience of public facing abstract codes and signs of non-verbal language (light, sound and movement) of the artificial-sensible-structure. Our own body language attitude has an unexpected reflex in the abstract reactions installation response.

Recognitions: This art-work has been selected in two international art contest Digital Encounters and the XXVII Bancaja Award. And also showed in two collective exhibitions one at the Centro Arte Complutense at Madrid and the other at the Institut Valencià d'Art Contemporani at Valencia.
