Immersive Light / Sound Installation
“illuuh” is an Audiovisual Installation where the participants are invited to experience a
trip driven by the effects of stroboscopic lights; patterns, colours and shapes appear as
some kind of illusion created by our own self; a trick of perception.
The configuration includes a specially composed soundscape, and up to 60 light spots which
are controlled in real time inside of a space which has been filled with artificial fog.
The utilization of fog in this environment provokes the loss of spatial perspective while
acting as a refractive element for the light derived from the light spots. Therefore, the
visitors have the feeling of being immersed in Light. The sum of all of these inputs and
tweaks are devised to put the spectator in a particularly artificial environment where the
senses can no longer identify reality as we are used to outside this space. Besides, the
use of rapidly changing patterns and colours from the light spots overwhelms our vision
(both optically as well as neurologically) inducing our brains to "see" patterns that do
not exist outside of our bodies.
The experience has a deep impact not only on our perception, but also on our mood and the
way we feel. People report wonder, clarity, inner peace, deep relaxation and increased
creativity after such experiences, and there are even claims of its impact in the nervous
system and the pineal gland. We do not necessarily subscribe to these claims without
scientific research, but we have seen people reacting to the experience also in this
manner, and we know that often the experience is going to impact on us in a strong
relationship with the way we offer it.
The experience can be presented in three different formats:
- Indoors in any kind of room, with a sound system accordingly to the room and up to 60
Light spots
- Outdoors inside of a 3mts x 3mts black out tent for a maximum of 8 people (16 light
spots) or inside of a 3mts x 6mts black out tent for a maximum of 16 people (22 light
spots).
- As a portable Installation / Performance with two boxes where the audience can get the
same visual effect, but without the immersive component of it.
As most of what happens inside of this experiential sensual space is subjective and it is
produced inside our visitor´s brains, it is not possible to film this action in order to
show in a video its results. We have been presenting this experience in very different
events, with always the same response from the audience: Awe, excitement, wonder,
fascination...
