A DIGITAL PLAYGROUND
In the middle of a planned town centre in Amsterdam, these light rocks appeared to brighten up a dire concrete town square.
They are called Marbles and these are interactive rocks that combine LEDs, sensors, speakers and a shed load of other digital media to interact with the public. The idea is that these rocks respond to touch and sound, so when they are, they change colour and produce sound. Each rock is connected to the other so they all work simultaneously to one another.
The designers of this installment come from Studio Roosegaarde. They create many other pieces similar to this that respond to touch and sound. Their intention for this piece was to liven the square and make somewhere that seemed dreary, seem fun instead.
