Nature, Art and Magical Blocks of Flying Concrete @TED #tedtalks #shorts

How cool would it be

if suddenly little lights would flow down from the ceiling,

opening and closing, interacting with us

like flowers?

Project "Shylight" became a process of years.

We had to learn to build control boards, develop programming software,

make mechanics move in an organic way

with gravity and complex silk patterns.

We had to become engineers,

programmers,

seamstresses

and choreographers at the same time.

People responded  to them with wonder

and a smile on their face,

. It's not about that it moves.

It's about how it moves.

We are designed to be in a constant

and dynamic interaction with our environment.

Our body responds automatically

to certain types of movement,

movement we already know from nature.

So why are human-built environments static?

Nothing moves.

Do we realize that this also stops us from moving?
