Research

Investigating how humans interact with and perceive space, both as individuals and within groups. By examining the roles of light and sound, we uncover how these sensory elements shape our experiences, guide movement, and influence emotional and social dynamics.

Exploring the body and movement through sound and image, examining how sensory experiences can be intertwined to create immersive narratives.

We utilize biofeedback to create a responsive loop between physical expression and digital media.

Design

Imagined by Efren Mur, this interactive installation uses volumetric LEDs accompanied by programmed DMX light fixtures and sound to explore the synergistic possibilities of the impact between the individual and the collective of the human being within the field of New Media Art.

Designed as an interactive media performance exploring the journey of the self in an unknown world. Its story unfolds in four chapters, beginning with vulnerability and confusion, and ending in resilience and tranquillity.

Development

The project was developed using a number of technologies including LiDAR systems to track human movement through space, Volumetric LEDs with customised render engines and a custom built User Interface for the artist.

The project was developed under the guidance of Stephen Bontly.

The project was developed using wireless wearable MIDI controllers and Kinect motion sensors to capture and translate movement into real-time sound and visuals.


Feedback loops between Ableton Live and TouchDesigner enabled dynamic interaction, allowing the dancer's movements to continuously shape and be shaped by the audiovisual environment.

Concept

An exhibition by digital artist Efrén Mur, who explores the synergistic possibilities of the impact between the individual and the collective of the human being.


A sensorial journey in constant motion that highlights the value of personal introspective cycles and their correlation with a collective consciousness.

Response versus reaction.

Through sound and image the body traverses different emotional states. It acts and reacts to the media, while at the same time affecting the audiovisual scenery.


Through the feedback loop between each performer Bloomscapes aims to break the barrier between what is in our control and what is not.
