Note Constellation is an interactive installation that provide an immersive environment to audiences, and it allows audiences use their fingers to draw note in the screen as draw a series of constellation in the sky . People could engage in this interaction process in terms of sound and visual part. People stand under a ceiling screen, and they look up at the starlit sky. When they intuitively point to the sky, they will automatically draw an element of constellation, and make a of note. When they finish draw a complete constellation, they simultaneously get a customized melody that composed by themselves.
We are inspired by the movie 《A Beautiful Mind》, protagonist John make a romantic scene for his lover Alicia Nash. In the movie, he hold her hand and point to sky, and they start to draw a series of beautiful constellation stars. It’s also a metaphor to represent the distance between human and galaxy. In the reality, we can not reach the distant galaxy, we even can not clearly see the constellation. We try to realize the romantic scene from the movie 《A Beautiful Mind》in our interactive work, and provide an experience for audiences to let them have a dynamic conversion between Tonze and themselves.
