Multi-Dimensional Galactivation Station Prototype Dorkbot Presentation

This is a 3 foot prototype of the Multi-Dimensional Galactivation Station.
The full version will be a full blown super sensory experience of light, sound, touch and play, a 10' equilateral square pyramid surrounded by the fabric of space time, a stretch mesh netting which when combined with a laser using a linear diffraction filter creates iridescent 3 dimensional topographic map patterns which morph and shapeshift into different geometric topographies as the fabric is pushed, pulled, twisted, and fondled. Accelerometers embedded in the netting pick up any motion or play in the nets and activate extraterrestrial synthesized sounds via multiple kaossilator synthesizers which wiggle and throb organic alien sounds in full proportion to the motion of the nets. The sound in turn activates full color LED lighting completely lining the entire installation creating a fully immersive torrent of color and light pulsing all around you when you are inside this piece all of which pulse and throb in complete resonance with the sounds produced. Each face of the installation produces a different synthesized sound allowing for a full amorphous musical collaboration between all the people playing on the different faces of the installation. You don't just play with this installation, you play with everyone else playing with this installation.
