mcbw pop-up x Light Up (M.A. DFDF @TH-Nürnberg)

A space full of light, movement, and coexistence, where individual moments merge into a quietly vibrating collective light space.

Light Up combines multiple nodes into an interconnected field of experience, made up of short autonomous modules that respond to proximity, movement, and cooperation and feed their light signals upward into a shared structure.

Visitors encounter poetic micro-interactions (e.g., luminous origami elements that react to proximity and distance), cooperative forms of play (e.g., solving puzzles together) with temporal and spatial coordination, as well as systemic changes of perspective in which unusual aspects are made audible by plant materials and sensors. This creates an interplay between solo exploration and visitor interaction; the sum of several contributions is subtly reflected in the floating light space above.

Developed by students of Design for Digital Futures (M.A.)—DFDF at the Faculty of Design at Nuremberg Tech (TH Nürnberg), an international interdisciplinary program.
