Dalle lucciole
alle stelle

The project proposal is an evolution of "Fireflies": an installation for large open spaces based on small modules designed by Private Echo, that emit light and sound powered by solar cells and completely self-sufficient.

On Via Cattedrale in Lugano, we propose this technology to create a starry sky as the backdrop for the actual installation, to engage visitors in a positive, warm and uplifting experience.

Project & creation

The idea is to immerse people walking through Via Cattedrale in a magical experience. To do so, we will combine 100 "flying" point sound sources with 8 "ground" full range speakers. The sounds will interact with the 1000 leds' net above the entire street.

The result is an installation where point sound sources stimulate the physical space in which they are placed, exploiting and eliciting its resonances.

Via Cattedrale is perfectly suited to our work. The narrow and tall structure of this street has the necessary characteristics for the realization of an immersive and powerful experience. The significant slope will also make the perspective on the "starry sky" particularly suggestive.
