A virtual social installation by John Fillwalk and IDIA Lab<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mobile artwork, which originally premiered at Nuit Blanche Toronto – a city wide light festival – activates a locative environment in which participants engage in a dynamic social experience. Individual users of the app – available on both Apple AppStore and Android GooglePlay – interact with a live locative network, allowing them to discover, connect and form groups with other users on a city map. Once in a group, users devices are automatically synced with screen light, LED flash and music based on the properties of fireflies. Participants can view other groups identified on a live map by specific colors – forming a dynamic chorus of collaborative synchronous light and music. The frequencies of actual fireflies and their colors are employed in this social media work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
