AS part of Enlighten 2016 the Canberra Centre has produced an installation called “A Light Touch”.

Centre Manager Amanda Paradiso says “A Light Touch” is an immersive interactive experience that adapts and reacts to human touch and welcomes users to manipulate lights and discover an array colours.

“The visual spectacle is built from a custom programmed circuit board directing LED lights to cycle through the colour spectrum,” Amanda said.

“The work has been built into a laser cut organic frame, on the Ground Level near David Jones.

“A Light Touch will bring a unique experience to our customers since nothing like it has been in centre before. We’re really looking forward to seeing people’s reactions and how they connect with the project.

“The tactile and interactive light canvas will glow and change with human touch. The development of the responsive wall incorporates computational design, light technology and interaction design to reinvent how people can connect and communicate using light and touch.

Adam Stankevicius, Director of Arts and Events for the ACT Government, has welcomed the new addition to the Enlighten program.

“The increased interest and visitation to Enlighten over past years is testament to the fact that both local and interstate attendees are hungry for more culture and creativity and enjoy new and unique experiences,” Adam said.

“A Light Touch radiates with innovation and user immersion.”
