Welcome to the Lotus Dome…
Lotus Dome by Daan Roosegaarde and his studio is a living dome made out of hundreds of ultra-light aluminium flowers that fold open in response to human behavior. When approached, the big silver dome lights up and opens its flowers. Its behavior moves from soft breathing to a more dynamic mood when more people interact. The light slowly follows people, creating an interactive play of light and shadow.
IRIS by HYBE
Interactive installation is grid of transparent LEDs which display halftone and circular patterns whose display can emulate it’s viewers.
A week ago, I covered a New Media exhibition in Seoul called ‘The Da Vinci Ideas Exhibition’ and was intrigued by this piece, hoping there would be a video of it. Well, the brilliant Creative Applications discovered it, which you can watch in the embed below:
Created by Korena collective HYBE, IRIS is a media canvas with matrix of conventional information display technology, that is a monochrome LCD.Through the phased opening and closing of circular black liquid crystal, IRIS can create various patterns and control the amount (size) of passing lights.

Snail Trail by Philipp Artus
Great installation / stop-motion animation of “A snail invents the wheel and goes through a cultural evolution to finally get back to its origin.” created with a computer controlled laser on a phosphorescent surface, briefly absorbing the light.
Below are videos of both the animation and laser sculpture:

It has a low vector look about it, makes me think of Vib Ribbon and Sonic The Hedgehog.

SOL - Interactive Installation
An interactive spatial installation staging the origin of solar energy.
In an immersive environment the principles of nuclear fusion can be experienced in a narrative and playful way.
Entering a bright and glistening corpus, the visitor experiences the darkness inside the Sun and watches the chaotic motion of Protons.
Interacting with the particles causes them to fuse and to produce energy which manifests as light bursts inside “the core” as well as a rising light level on the outside.
