We created Visitor around the story of an alien visitor landing in a foreign place. We loved the idea of designing a "being" that would make people curious and encourage them to figure out how to communicate with such a strange creature. What they'd find out is that while all other types of verbal communication would fail, Visitor responds well to certain stimuli like presence and touch.

Commissioned by Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for digiPlaySpace, our interactive sculpture Visitor displayed at TIFF Bell Lightbox cultural centre in Toronto, Ontario and then continued on a world tour at interactive cultural centres. Covered in hundreds of responsive LEDs and also proximity sensors, Visitor invites kids to interact, discover its possibilities, figure out where it came from and learn what it is trying to tell us.
