Akarium Call
Akarium Call is a reactive light installation located along the 1km long trendy fashion Omotesando avenue in Tokyo. 60 light columns of 6 meters high, 1 meter wide, are placed on both sides of the road.
Users phone a number displayed on the columns, their voice then controls the pulsating lights. The final version used volume mapping to brightness of light, with a subtle fade in and out, as to not create a strobe light effect. Earlier versions used more complex sound signal processing, but in this public space it was harder to achieve, and they wanted to create an instant synchronized response to the user.
