The movement of the hand above a recording interface is materialized into lights stratum. This reaction triggers a visual resurgence of the gesture, visible and tangible, like an ephemeral geology of the movement. The installation is composed of 92 metal totems on which are placed stripLEDs, and a tripod, the interaction zone.

The lights stratum, provoked by the spectator, represents several universes: cave, ground, rain, lightning and stratosphere. Each universe also has its own
sound design.

The gesture is detected by a Leap motion. Connected to a computer that controls and set off the various lights and sounds universes, it sends information to the boxes at the bottom of the totems. The interaction is only possible one person at a time. However, the different visuals and soundscapes are rich enough for the other spectators to be immersed in a contemplative state.
