Quantum Jungle
Robin Baumgarten
Description
Quantum Jungle is a tactile interactive light installation that invites guests to shape waves of light and motion inspired by the strange beauty of quantum physics. It spans a wall of over 1,000 touch-sensitive metal springs that trigger ever-shifting patterns, rippling, colliding and collapsing in real time, creating a hypnotic visual experience that feels fluid and otherworldly.
