Summary: Interactive art Endless Ripples is a growing participatory pond. This
consists of a huge amount of white LED lights under the tiled painting canvases
and a disposable cup with some water in the middle of the pond. When visitors
come in the dark space, LEDs under the cup emit dim lights to attract them to
throw their coin into the cup. If they are successful, ambient noises from
speakers disappear. Instead, they can see bright ripples through the canvases.
The coins will be donated to the nearest public facilities from the exhibition.
The coins outside the cup that they failed to put in will be used for growing
and duplicating the project to provide more opportunities for audiences to take
part in. Both outcomes will contribute them to helping local areas. This
interactive project explores how to coexist between art and life.
