An interactive Experience at the Zauberwald in Lenzerheide.
Inspired by electric circuits and energy flow we realized this project as the Collective kreis16 in cooperation with EWZ.
The four buzzers affect the heart differently, changing beautiful, playful, and explorable visuals and the soundscape's impact. The big crescendo happens when all the buzzers are active simultaneously.
The most challenging part of this project was the weather conditions while planning and building. It took place from 10th until 30th December 2021 in the mountains with low temperatures. During the night, it could get -15° and during the day +15° in the sun. Not to forget the snow and the possibility of rain. Up to 4000 people in an evening visited Zauberwald.
It was all the more heartwarming and impressive to see people interacting with it joyfully and laughing.
The installation was realized as a project of the Kreis16 collective in cooperation with EWZ.
The visitors are the missing link of the installation and through their interaction and exploration together the heart can light up in full splendor. The four buzzers all affect the heart in different ways and together they create beautiful playful explorable visuals. We want to arouse curiosity and amazement and hope that the visitors go home with a sparkle in their eyes.
