Undulating Interactive Installation - Alica Majercinova

This interactive instillation was designed by the  Scandinavian Design Group, ctrl+n, Abida, Pivot Product Design and Intek for a Scandinavian energy conference. The instillation is a reference to a new technology created by the commissioning oil company called Lundin Norway.

The instillation is made up of many small tubes piercing one floor of the exhibiting building and creating an interactive sculpture that moves as it interacts with the users. The concept behind the idea was to imitate the movement of the ocean tides and undersea geography while playing the soothing music of ocean waves. Six different crystals are hung within the tubes, containing oil samples from Lundin’s newest discoveries. The tubes are operated through an advanced sensory technology. The instillation contains many embedded sensors that can sense the movements of visitors and adjust the tubes accordingly, making it impossible for the visitor to bump into any of the tubes. This not only creates a very sensory and interactive experience for the visitors of the space but also a very beautiful moving sculpture that is very enjoyable to experience.

The lower level of the instillation is where the visitor can observe and experience the instillation. The upper level becomes the place where the visitor can learn more about the operational technology.
