TechnoFrolics' Dancing Trees artworks weave metal and magnetism into visual music.

Clustered in delicate spikes above a latticework of magnets, a field of fine iron powder quivers to life in performances that range from gentle to jubilant, from sensual to comical.

 

The Dancing Trees artworks embody a range of performance modes:

  • Human Touch: Playful, interactive art installations that respond to the motion of hands over a sensor pad.

  • Silent Dancing: Silent, site-integrated art installations that perform graceful compositions that engage viewers with an endless mosaic of motions, like the dance of flames in a campfire.

  • Dancing to Music: Lively, choreographed art installations that captivate audiences of all ages with lively performances that capture every nuance of the music in their motions.
