AKAMATSU Masayuki
An audiovisual installation consisting of more than 40 mobile devices (iPhones) suspended in the air in the space. Touching one of the devices causes it to emit sound and light, and the other devices to respond as well. The audience produces an assembly of music and visual spectacle, which will spread beyond the space and even draw in uninvolved strangers.
