Description

"Resonance" is an interactive installation that combines visual and auditory effects to explore the synergy between human physiological rhythms and responsive digital art. Using heartbeat sensors, the installation detects participants' heartbeats, which serve as a core input to generate immersive visual and soundscapes. This real-time integration aims to create a meditative experience, allowing participants to engage with their inner states and observe their physical presence’s influence on the surrounding environment.


The installation also incorporates hand movement tracking to produce rippling visual effects, symbolizing the impact of subtle human gestures on the space. This feature encourages visitors to explore the tangible connection between motion and its aesthetic manifestations, reinforcing themes of introspection and interconnectedness. Through this approach, "Resonance" seeks to foster a contemplative atmosphere that underscores the role of human interaction in shaping the digital landscape, ultimately enhancing awareness of one's presence and influence within the immersive artwork.
