responsive light installation by b-reel creative is controlled by viewer’s breath

the ‘prana’ experience explores the relationship between breath and light, giving visitors the ability the visualize their energy through its impact of 13, 211 individual LED sphere.

the word ‘prana’ comes from sanskrit, and refers to a cosmic life force that originates in the sun and enters the body through the breath. studio b-reel creative interpreted that mean with 12 by 12 foot suspended sphere where visitors stand in front of a xethru radar sensor that detects breath.

the code is open sourced allow artists to develop different reactions

 with this data, a custom computer code triggers color shifts and animations that make it appear as if the sphere is breathing with them. add sounds by one thousand birds heightens the effects, transitioning between each phase of the experience. the team open sourced the code to allow for other artists and developers to create custom animations that can later be incorporated into the installation. the ‘prana’ b-reel creative project was completed designed and built in-house over the course of a year to promote memorable and emotional experiences powered by technology.
