Spectrum Mirror

Role :
Date : 2023

Spectrum Mirror is an interactive digital art piece that uniquely connects music to human movement. Whenever I listen to music I feel an energy emanating from within, and it seems to move in sync with the music's loudness, mode, tempo, and other factors. This led me to ponder: What if we could visualize these invisible forces using new technologies? What if we could create a whole new level of immersion for users?
