The project "Walking Waves" was developed by datenflug as part of a series of interactive media installations about the interface between architecture and media arts. The theme of this Virtual-Reality-concept is the creation of a new independent architecture.
The theme of the installation "Walking Waves" is the capturing of movement in space and the transformation of this movement into a kinetic environment of light. The movement of the participants is captured by the use of Virtual reality and optic sensors and represented by light
The theme of the installation is the visualisation of physical presense and human movement in the form of a dynamic architecture of light. The visitor permanenty generates him/herself in different light structures and implicates a dialogue between the observer and the system.

We see in our virtual architecture a modern reaction of current social change.
Flexibility, Fragmentation and Acceleration are slogans that control our lives today. In cyberspace and its immersive, interactive and networked environments stands a virtual world, that changes and influences our perceptions of reality.
