A UX designer who cannot play with cool installation stuff，cannot be a good interaction artist. This one loves immersive theater and would like to explore space and movement with you in this experience.

I am an interdisciplinary artist and designer passionate about art, design, science, technology, and interactive experiences. I am currently attending New York University ITP Graduate Program where I explore the field of art and technology.
A meditative approach to spatial exploration… and bubbles!
What inspired you to make this project?:
While we were exploring different ways and aspects of movement in Sense me, move me class, we wanted to get away from the intuitive and subconscious reaction when people see an interactive piece, which is standing in front of the piece or waving their hands. Too many interesting ways interactions were killed by the existence of a screen. So at this time we want to explore more with a space instead of just a 2D screen- how people behave entering the space, how people interact with the architectural space, and how people react with different layers of projection sketches.
