Lexus A-Un

Overview

Human machine harmony, translated into ambience. Guests were enveloped by a butterfly form woven from 35 km of translucent thread. The space followed a seasonal journey through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, mirroring the rhythmic expansion and contraction of shared breath.

Interactive Systems

Breath and motion become colour, light, and sound. Biometric sensors captured pulse and movement, driving a real time projection layer that washed the butterfly with colour, from sakura pink spring to silent white winter. Spatial audio and subtle airflow reinforced the sense of the room inhaling and exhaling with its audience.

Each visitor shapes the collective artwork. Personal signals are transformed into shared ambience in real time, turning individual biology into a synchronized experience across the space.
