Step inside an immersive and interactive installation of lights, sounds, and movement created by U.K.-based digital arts collective Squidsoup.

Each step, touch, noise, and shift elicits responses from the thousands of lights dangling around you. The culmination of a five-year research project exploring interactive media, Squidsoup has built a hybrid environment where virtual and physical worlds collide.

Immerse yourself in the waves of blues to greens to pinks as the sea of light takes you through the gallery.

"Our work combines physical and dynamic virtual spaces with novel and intuitive forms of interaction to produce immersive, responsive and beguiling experiences." –Squidsoup
