Interactive installation

"Bion is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between artificial life and human life."

- nice example of connecting the viewer with a space. How they have utilized technology to create a connection between human's and non living things. Not only does it capture it's audience through it's form but they way it changes due to human interaction increases the viewers interest even further. 

“The bions are suspended by fine gage wire connected to panels that are attached to the ceiling. When installed the panels form clusters of bions arranged at different elevations. Each bion has the ability to communicate with the others and with viewers that enter the space.

When a viewer approaches the installation space she will witness a dynamic array of blips of sound and blue light emanating in cloud like patterns from all parts of the room. She notices that the source of the light and sound come from hundreds of small organic shaped forms called bions . The bions are communicating, unaware of the approaching visitor. She enters the room. One of the bions is alerted to the presence of a stranger and quickly communicates the information to the swarm of bions . One by one, in rapid succession, bions signal other bions of the stranger and in a wave like pattern become silent. The bions eventually become accustomed to her presence and begin to respond to her as if she was part of their ecosystem. They become attracted to her and glow more intensely when she nears. Eventually, she is incorporated into the dynamic array she once witnessed.via wmmna
