Osmosis Interactive Arena

Enter Arik Levy's interactive installation and your movements will transform the geometry, colour, texture and density of a digitally-generated crystal. Like a master crystal cutter struggling to anticipate how their expertly-tooled stone will be viewed in random light conditions, the results of your actions are unpredictable.

Inspired by nature, and the process by which particles flow from one area to another to create a balanced environment, Osmosis Interactive Arena highlights our own unexpected impacts on the planet. Its dynamic interpretation of digital memory forces us to question the consequences of our recent movements and learn from observing the responses and effects of others.
