Ripple is a playful embodiment of the notion that we can achieve more together; that every action causes a ripple effect. It was an interactive experience that invited visitors to move through a thicket of suspended droplets, making music by tugging on them; synchronizing movements and harmonizing sounds with those of other visitors.
It seeks to empower visitors to engage with and affect their environment in a playful way, and offers a different experience with every visit - at the beginning of the night when crowds line up for Nuit Blanche, your note mixes with many others, while late at night you may have the whole keyboard to yourself.
