Pure Ring

Location: Event Square 

A modern twist to the concept of musical chairs, Pure Ring aspires to foster unexpected connections among strangers, sparking moments of serendipity amidst the urban bustle.  

When unoccupied, this interactive installation orchestrates a mesmerising interplay of light and sound. Once a module is sat on, the installation reacts with a colour change, initiating a mysterious pairing with another module chosen at random unbeknownst to its audience. The synchronised modules will simultaneously turn red for the chosen pair seated atop them.  

This artwork hopes to foster connections through the convergence of light.
