COCOON

Installations & Mapping

COCOON — -.618 immersive experience

Interactive audiovisual installation exploring the genesis of life through light and sound, created by -.618 in collaboration with SIGNATURA for the Prosvet Festival 2020 in Perm. A 6-meter parametric structure featuring custom light design, laser interaction, and array microphones that respond to the surrounding environment.

"Cocoon", a parametric volumetric object, containing a curved glass sphere that generates spatial caustic effects when coming in contact with laser beams. The outer surface of the "Cocoon" is covered with fluorescent paint that interacts with external laser beams. The COCOON installation shows the viewer the path from the first impulse of energy to the final metamorphosis. The installation features some interactive elements, viz. interaction with the viewer that occurs when he steps on pebbles scattered on the floor (the microphone grabs high-frequency sounds). The pebbles are mainly scattered under the cocoon. When the viewer approaches the cocoon, it becomes "opaque" and emits less glow; on the contrary, if the audience stops roaming close to the cocoon, it 'revives' with a bright glow — thus, every external action and change in the environment leaves an imprint, or a "butterfly effect", on the future life.
