My project invites audiences into a fully immersive, multi-sensory art installation that explores the intersection of sight, sound, and touch. The experience is designed to actively engage participants, transforming them from passive observers into co-creators of the exhibit.

Area One: Percussive Light & Sound Interaction. Visitors are invited to strike bass, tom, snare, and hand drums equipped with RGB-responsive lighting. Each drum strike triggers a shift in the drum’s light color and alters the illuminated drawing it faces—creating a real-time dialogue between rhythm, light, and visual art. For participants sensitive to sound or seeking a more tactile experience, noise-cancelling headphones will be available, allowing them to feel the vibrations without the auditory impact.

Area Two: Kinetic Frames The second installation component invites viewers to physically interact with a series of drawings mounted in circular frames. Each frame is attached to a rotating mechanism, allowing it to spin manually at the user’s discretion—slowly, rapidly, or subtly—based on their tactile engagement. The drawings are backlit with LEDs, enhancing their visibility and creating dynamic shadows and reflections as they move.

This sensory-driven installation is important because it encourages personal expression, curiosity, and play, while fostering deeper engagement with visual and kinetic art forms.
