Beings of Light is an interactive installation that transforms our silhouettes, in real time, into dynamic particles of light. Colour and audio-reactive effects create an ever-changing visual environment where movement, presence and sound become part of a shared canvas of light.

Beings of Light: Living Colors

Beings of Light explores our relationship with recognition technology and artificial intelligence, questioning the way these tools increasingly analyse, classify and define who we are. The installation reclaims these technologies to imagine a different possibility: Can technology become a tool for beauty, connection and collective expression?

Our silhouettes are transformed, in real time, into small particles of dynamic light that float, spread and merge with those of the people around us.

In Living Colors, each presence introduces new colours and new visual relationships, while audio-reactive effects allow the artwork to respond dynamically to sound. The result is a constantly evolving composition created collectively by everyone inhabiting the space.

A magical space created by and for people, regardless of age, gender, race or religion. A living and glowing canvas where differences coexist and individual presences become part of something greater — an inclusive universe of light shaped collectively by everyone.

The installation is scalable both spatially and in terms of audience capacity, with interaction modules designed for up to six participants each. Its size, layout, and configuration can be adapted to the architecture, dimensions, and specific conditions of each site.

ORIGINAL VERSION

The original version of Beings of Light, presented at Noor Riyadh 2024, transforms visitors’ silhouettes into thousands of white particles of light, creating a collective composition shaped in real time by movement and human presence.

This monochromatic version became the starting point for the development of Beings of Light: Living Colors, where colour and audio-reactive effects expand its visual and expressive language.
