Pulse is a new conceptual piece developed for Houghton Festival. It is about capturing and transmitting the resonance of trees and how they respond to their context, drawing on advanced environmental sensors that pick up signals and translate these into a dynamic composition of light and vibrations. The result is an immersive experience completely unique to the site at Houghton Festival, where technology allows for a bridge between human perception and nature.
Visitors find themselves enveloped in a responsive environment where light pulses and soundscapes shift in dialogue with the forest, encouraging a moment of introspection and wonder. Designed to respond to the environment in real time, the installation captures and interprets the connection between trees through an interplay of sound and light, creating a mesmerising, meditative journey that resonates with the festival’s ethos of discovery, creativity and connection.
