Aqueous – An interactive landscape of meandering pathways of light
Inspired by the symmetry in natural systems and composed of hundreds of interactive, stand-alone, modular platforms derived from the Golden Ratio.
Controlled from raw code that can process human interaction on each of the independent yet connected platforms.
In the day, Aqueous shifts in color and reflection to mirror the sky within a dichroic surface.
At night, Aqueous flows and glows in full illuminated interactivity.

This piece is a permanent, outdoor interactive instrument. Sidewalk Harp is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the By The Match Registry which is a nonprofit National Bone Marrow Donor Program.
Sidewalk Harp plays by passing your body through the 36 sensors capped with LEDs along the bottom of the 40 foot long form.
