LIQUID SPACE
Space adapts to people's sounds and motion.
LIQUID SPACE is an interactive cocoon that adapts to visitors' sounds and movements. This sculpture series redefines architecture by integrating mechanisms, electronics, sound, and LEDs, creating a dynamic dialogue between space and people. Unlike static structures, LIQUID SPACE actively responds to those who engage with it.
Originally conceived as Daan Roosegaarde's graduation project at the fine art academy AKI in Enschede, LIQUID SPACE has evolved into more fluid and sophisticated versions over time. Each iteration incorporates new technologies to enhance its interactivity, pushing the boundaries of architectural design.
Exhibited at prestigious venues like Oerol and in Japan, LIQUID SPACE mesmerizes audiences with its fusion of sound, light, and movement. Visitors are invited to actively engage with their surroundings, transforming the space around them.
Through LIQUID SPACE, Roosegaarde shows that architecture can be a medium for interaction, creativity, and connection, offering a glimpse into the future of responsive environments.
