[Text available only in English] The power of the individual in the community is made tangible through sound. The variations of lights and shadows, generated by individuals within an environment, will shape the sound.
In a candlelit room, photoresistors will perceive the slight fluctuations of light and transform them into sound. This will give life to a completely quiet environment. The presence of individuals within the environment will gradually disturb this stillness, leading to chaos. Individuals will thus tend to move away and everything will return to a state of stillness generating a continuous cycle, metaphor of the world itself.
Introduction - an innovative blend of art and technology; - creating an organic atmosphere through candlelight, soundscapes and interactivity; - engaging social experiences through light sound and movement.

Human Interaction - observing the impact of human presence on the installation; - increased intensity and persistence of variations when people interact; - overcrowding leading to chaotic conditions; - some viewers will be drawn to the calm, while others may retreat from chaos.
Seeking Balance - finding tranquility amidst chaos; - departure of viewers from crowded spaces leads to a gradual restoration of calm; - delicate variations and soothing ambiance return; - encouraging reflection and introspection in the audience.
