Aurora Organ
Aurora Organ uses digital technology to translate the human presence into different colours of light. This piece is a combination of custom software, RGB LEDSs, touch sensors and traditional sculptural materials to create an intriguing experience for users where they can use small gesture of touch to produce animated patterns of light.

The Aurora Organ consists of six hanging columns of light and six illuminated glass sensors inserted into a wooden hand railing that cycle through a palette of colours. There will be changes on the patterns of light in the column each time a person taps or touches the railing sensor.

The colours in each column animate in different ways, it depends on how people interact with the railing. The colours may move faster or slower, up or down, or even show a long streak of colour when a person grips the railing and shorter bursts when a person taps on it. Besides, each time a person touch the railing, a new colour will overlay and blend with the previous pattern. If six sensors are touched at the same time, a major change of the all the colour elements is created.
