Description
An interactive sculpture that is directly controlled by the visitors to this public swimming pool. A transparent plastic wall is composed of thirteen panels filled with pale blue liquid. Each panel has an electro-magnetic air valve which can release bursts of air bubbles. Optica sensors in front of each panel sense when someone is passing by, and so cause the perspective air valves to be triggered. Thus visitors walking back and forth in front of this wall cause bubble patterns to be created that are traces of their movements.
