Visitor's Guide
Welcome to our Ripples Through Time vistor's guide! Here, you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to make the most of your experience with our installation. Let's get started!
01
Step into the interaction Space
To begin the experience step into the outlined interaction space in front of the TV. Only movements inside of the outlines will be tracked by our system!
For optimal use, ensure only two hands are being detected at a time.
02
Move Your Hands to Create Ripples
Raise your hands and move them slowly through the air.
Your gestures will produce ripples of light across the screen, revealing fragments of two layered perspectives:​
As your ripples pass over the window stories will begin to surface.
03
Explore Each Waterway
Each window tells a different story. Move freely between the windows at your own pace. Every interaction is unique and has a narrative of its own—your movement shapes what you see.
04
Reflect on What Emerges
You may notice layers sliding into view, fading, or colliding. This shifting imagery represents how relationships with land and water change over time, and how your actions can leave lasting traces in different ways.
​
Take a moment to ask yourself these questions:
-
What stories do my actions reveal?
-
How do my movements influence the waterways?
-
What story is each waterway trying to tell?
Thank you for visiting!
