Disruptive Devices, Digital kinetic artworks
Disruptive Devices is a set of three interactive artworks inside the immersive experience Electric Sky Lounge. Guests are invited to interact with each work using a crank wheel that changes a virtual world. The result is a surprising and humorous interaction between the real and the digital worlds. Disruptive Devices explores themes of environmental sustainability and the impact of technology in our lives, through a surreal and playful lens.
