An interactive light installation shaped by human curiosity

Two Birds is an interactive light installation inspired by insights gathered through cultural probes aimed at understanding how people desire to interact with light. The research revealed a strong attraction to tactile engagement—specifically the act of physically manipulating light through touch. In response, Two Birds explores this relationship by incorporating flexible wire elements that allow users to shape and influence the light’s behaviour, creating a sensory experience that is both playful and intuitive.
