I wondered how could natural elements and digital signal be configured as new displays, and what is the new communication with nature and digital world. Therefore I built an installation to create a new user experience and brought in my own perception about what is the intuitivaty and user-friendly interaction design.
This design recomposing three simple elements in a cycle and exploring the mystery between water, sound and light. Changing their normality but maintaining their nature, creating variable water ripples, visible sounds and malleable light. The viewer has several options to control this system. Usually we listen to music, this time we play with it and use it to create mysterious and unpredictable results, which make us understand the nature and relationship of the elements and discover their variable parameters.
The interaction between this installation and the viewer focuses on the experience of controlling the light patterns. The interface is composed of three audio cables and audio jacks. Each cable transmits one kind of tone, which excites a specific lighting pattern. Imitating the behaviour of listening music by earphones, by plugging in several cables we enjoy mysterious patterns rather than listen to music.
