FLUX is an interactive light installation that is created in collaboration with Aalborg Municipality, in order
to enhance the interest in Stigsborg Harbour area. One of the project’s main goals is to light up the
darkened area behind the industry buildings on the harbour front. The shapes of the sculptures are
inspired by the structure and history of the site, but the user might also see some resemblance of
animals.
FLUX invites to play and interaction with its responding lights, which gets activated by touch and
movement. Additionally, each individual sculpture has sounds assigned to them – also reacting to a user.
FLUX integrates the elements of embodied interaction with focus on exploration, collaboration and use
of imagination. The multiple options of interaction allow a deeper form of exploration. The interaction
changes when the user is nearing the installation, when the user is touching different sculptures and
when more than one user is interacting with the installation. The grey painted stripes on the sculptures
reacts to touch and the sensors installed when entering the room will pick up the movement of people
passing by, allowing the different audio and light transitions.
