A luminous and interactive playground<\/h2>

Impulse<\/em> invites you into a playful, multisensory experience with a standby of childhood play: the seesaw. The installation is a series of teeter-totters that respond to riders\u2019 movements with fluctuating light and sound.<\/p>\n

With this urban instrument, you will help create an ephemeral environment in constant renewal. However, Impulse<\/em>\u2019s sights and sounds are not random. Inspired by serialism, a musical method of composition, the installation creates different zones of varying intensity and calm.<\/p>\n

Impulse<\/em> is an invitation to play, to laugh and to interact. It creates a collective experience of joy and community.<\/p>\n
