Ànima is a collaborative project created by MEATS students and ELISAVA undergraduates, designed and developed for the LLUM BCN Festival in 2020, and was led by Cube.bz and the directors of MEATS.
The interactive lights in this immersive installation represent a vast web of collective information, born from the data we generate at the speed of light. As the lights glow from thousands of optical fibers, they serve as a reminder that we are all connected, equally part of one larger, digital soul.
More than 3,000 fiber optic threads were used to symbolize the flow of data. The installation was given a second life by the Tot Raval Foundation, who donated some of the materials used in its creation. It features a large wooden structure, 20 meters long and 4 meters high. Suspended from the ceiling and illuminated from above, these strands create an immersive space where the audience can interact with the light. This experience allows visitors to feel connected to the journey that data undertakes.
