# Dance-Powered Installations A Pyramid at Nuits Sonores Translated Movement to Light By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nuits-sonores References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/06/dancing-powered-stage.html) & [isthis.gd](http://isthis.gd/portfolio/nuits-sonores/) Tracking the collective movements of an amphitheater full of people, a sculpture at this year's Nuits Sonores used the power of dance to light up a concert. Designers from design firm 'is this good?' collaborated with architects from 'Looking For Architecture' in order to create the [interactive installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightboks). The firms chose to track the movements of people across a lit-up pyramid to determine the pattern of lights. The more vigorously that concert-goers danced, the more light they got to illuminate the show. Movements across the [giant pyramid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-pyramid) were automatically translated into light. The resulting lightshow was projected on a giant screen for everyone to see. The creative teams used [six Kinect cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) in order to look at people's movements. The cameras sent data to computers, which controlled the lighting and the screens. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Installations:** Using movement and technology to create immersive and engaging experiences. - **Kinect Camera Technology:** Utilizing Kinect cameras to track and interpret human movement. - **Dance-powered Entertainment:** Harnessing the power of dance to create dynamic and interactive performances. ### Where This Applies - **Event Production:** Incorporating interactive installations to enhance live events and entertainment experiences. - **Architecture and Design:** Collaborating with architects and designers to create interactive and visually stunning installations. - **Technology:** Developing and implementing innovative camera and tracking technologies for interactive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kinetic Interaction Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transmutation-observatory.md) - [Urban Soundscape Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-installation.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md) - [Intricate Lighting Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-of-common-interest1.md) - [Dynamic Interactive Lighting Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zava.md) - [Disco Light-Replicating Illuminaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flasher.md) - [Energy-Generating Park Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-park.md)
