Interactive Installations at Signal Festival

Get a taste of light art

From the 15th to the 18th of October Signal light festival will brighten up the streets of Prague for the third time. Members of the team responsible for festival’s organization recommend to check out the light masterpieces either on the first or the last day of the show, when they expect less visitors and therefore a more enjoyable festival experience. This year Signal presents a total of 21 light installations, 4 video mappings on Prague’s monuments and 5 interactive light installations.

Among this year’s specialties will be 5 light installations visitors can interact with.

Light Tunnel at Letna

The biggest attraction will be the installation of a French artist Nohist, who specializes in experimental combinations of human skills with light elements. Visitors of the light tunnel at Letna will not only be able to embrace the beauty with their eyes but also to co-create it with their voices. Every visitor will get a chance to illuminate the dark tunnel full of LED lamps built in Letna park with his voice. Every sound made inside of the tunnel will be recorded and then transformed into a light trace. For each visitor a new, unique composition is thereby created from all audio and visual elements.

As a result, the installation itself is constantly changing and acquiring countless different forms, responding to the movements and gestures of the viewers. Visitors and passersby become a part of artist’s creation and define the appearance of the light elements.

This interactive projection introduces new technology, as it is created by the visitors themselves using the Intel RealSense camera, which can capture a 3D model of the human head. As a result, 3D models of visitors’ faces will be projected directly onto the Šítkovská Tower. This masterpiece was created by 3Dsense – an international group of young enthusiasts based in Prague.
