Short video 'MARBLES'
MARBLES are large glowing forms which interact with people via sound, light and color.
Each MARBLE contains interactive technologies that instinctively respond to human proximity or touch, triggering changes of color and sound. MARBLES are also able to multiply these interactions between themselves, communicating with each other.
As dusk falls on the square, it appears to be interacting with more than just those who are passing by. MARBLES transforms the public space into an interactive environment of light and play.
