Physis
Interactive Installation

Our accelerating pace of life has disconnected us from nature and from each other, that’s why “Physis” arose from the need to reestablish a connection through the use of technology.

“Physis” is an interactive installation inspired by the symbolism and spatial design of a Zen garden, which was made to propose a metaphoric way of sculpting through a special connection with nature.

The installation consists of a concentric arrangement of stones placed around a sand circle. On top of the stones, there are three rocks that, when touched, generate visual images that are projected onto the sand and sounds that can be heard through headphones. This base design adapts to the surrounding nature, that’s why materials from around CDMX will be collected.

When we interact with the rocks, layers of visual images and audios overlap in real time, which results in a mutable shaping that depends on the interaction of the users, generating a collective experience.
