Transit.Mantra is an interactive installation. The modules are activated by human movements, and start to form a swarm of light and sound. When someone walks by, a pattern is created, as a direct reaction to the character of the movement.
The light and sound cloud follows your gestures
Leaving a trace of your movement, and having a direct impact on the space
