Bodies In Motion

Richard The

Bodies in Motion for Humanscale celebrates human movement in a large-scale interactive light sculpture. Situated in the warehouse of Ventura Centrale in Milan, the work features a minimal representation of the human body formed of lights that respond to the movements of visitors. As visitor's bodies are scanned, 15 motorised lights project tightly-focussed white beams onto a screen fifteen metres away.
