Kaleidoscope is an interactive installation that explores the multidimensional nature of color and its tangible relationship with the physical world through a choreography of playful, sensory experiences. Conceived as a sequence of immersive environments, the installation invites visitors to move through color as a lived and participatory phenomenon.

The project comprises three kaleidoscope-shaped tunnels, each offering a distinct sensory exploration of color through its relationships with light, sound, and energy. Together, they create an experiential journey that is both educational and engaging. Each tunnel is supported by QR-code–linked digital content and explanatory video screens, allowing visitors to deepen their understanding of the concepts through optional interpretation layers.

Tunnel of Colors & Light

This tunnel explores the interaction between color and light. Angled mirrors and reflective, multi-hued surfaces generate constantly shifting kaleidoscopic effects, immersing visitors in a dynamic visual field that changes with movement and perspective.

Tunnel of Colors & Sound

Focusing on the synesthetic relationship between sound and color, this space links musical notes to specific hues. Interactive electronic panels allow visitors to strike notes, triggering illuminated LED rings in corresponding colors. A vocal input system enables visitors to produce sounds through a microphone, with tonal variations activating different color responses. Additional chimes introduce a tactile acoustic layer to the experience.

Tunnel of Colors & Energy

This tunnel interprets the relationship between color and kinetic energy. Visitors engage with a responsive surface where physical impact activates illuminated glass panels in varying colors, visually representing differences in energy levels. While symbolic rather than scientifically exact, the setup is designed to make abstract concepts intuitively accessible through interaction.

Across all three tunnels, QR-code–enabled interpretive panels provide expanded explanations and digital media, allowing the installation to function simultaneously as a playful environment and an educational platform.
