IN DEVELOPMENT: Currently seeking funding/sponsorship
Mock up of the installation in a field
The droplet can hang like a chandelier using a pyramid support structure. It can also simply be hung from a tree or similar support structure
The Droplet is made up of circular segments of wood/plastic with the outside coated in LED pixels pointing outwards, towards the viewer. Each segment is 10mm wide to facilite the placement of LED Strip. There is a spacing of 20mm between each segment to give the installation depth
All up the droplet is approximately 87cm Tall using 2mm spacing between each segment. 166cm Tall with 3cm spacing or 145cm tall with 4cm spacing. With this prototype design, its about 65cm wide at its widest point.
The droplet will have a small control panel set next to it that will host several range detection sensors. Participants will be able to interact with the animation by changing the distance of their hands to the control panel.

- The Chromasol – An LED covered umbrella
- The Wow Suit – A full body LED suit controlled by programmatic animations
- The Crystal Disco Cave – A walk in structure, LED lit and animated installation commissioned for MONA FOMA 2017. The outer structure is covered in 1000 programmed pixels an the inner sphere with 900 pixels covered in clear resin crystals. The animations were pre synched over WIFI
- The Space Theater – A hanging LED installation representing a mythical planet sucked into a black hole. Originally commissioned for Maitreay Festival 2016 (Festival was canceled), recommissioned and used at the 2016 Burning Seed side Burn
