Resonating Crape Myrtles

teamLab, 2022, Interactive Digitized Nature, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

The crape myrtles along the Oike Lake banks shine brightly.

When people pass by the crape myrtles, they shine more brightly and produce a tone. The light of that tree then radiates out, spreading to nearby crape myrtles as they resonate with the same tone. If a wave of light comes from the other side, it signifies the presence of people there. People gain a heightened sense of awareness of the existence of other people in the same space.
