Ocean of Light
Ocean of Light, a project by digital arts group Squidsoup, explore the immersive possibilities of individually addressed points of light set in a matrix. The points are choreographed to simulate movement in physical space. The materials respond to nearby noises by creating ripples across its surface and luminous firework-like blasts. Invisible ‘agents’ in the room navigate the environment and relay the results via the Ocean of Light. This piece is much more than a visualization of environmental noise. “When you are within it or in the room and completely surrounded by this stuff it becomes much more than a visual sensation, “says Anthony Rowe creative lead of Squidsoup. “You sense it with your whole body. Even if you clase your eyes you can feel the ball of light moving around.”
