SLIDES (Click on image and slideshow will pop up in new window)

DESCRIPTION
A Mood Space installation where the group dynamic in the space as a whole is influencing the mood of the space. The space has it´s own life and mood in relation to the group of participants. If they are close together and looking at each other, the space is in a good mood - Heaven, but if they are spread and not paying attention to each other, the space is in a bad mood - Hell.

The Heaven and Hell moods are expressed through animated projections and soundscapes.
