Event Details

Step into a canopy thick with countless LED ropes and connect to our shared humanity.

As individuals, we are connected by countless invisible threads — a fact Angus Muir explores in this technicolour, immersive installation. Wander through a circular 'forest' of luminous ropes, run your fingers along the strands and press any of the eight interactive posts to set off dynamic patterns.

Each post triggers a unique pulse of coloured light and sound sequences. Play with different combinations to unlock special displays.

Connection is a tactile and playful opportunity to reflect on the diversity of humanity and the shared experiences that tie us together.
