sound/light/movement immersive interactive installation

Laser Harp Q is an Interactive Immersive Sound / Light Installation; a participatory musical instrument comprised by four frames (2mts wide x 2mts high) disposed shaping a three dimensional cube, each frame with 12 lasers beams vertically arranged. Interrupting these laser beams with any part of the body, provokes a sound to be triggered and an array of Leds to be turned on. Each frame comprises an instrument itself with its own set of sound, while each four frames are tuned under the same tonality. This way, the audience is invited to take part of the experience by playing one of these frames alone or together with other participants who can play the other frames. Laser Ha Laser Harp Q is an unusual electronic instrument that encourages participation & collaboration to achieve the best results. We get closer to other people in order to create together; create while having fun.

Circus Lumineszenz – Leonardo Bettinelli

Leonardo Bettinelli began his musical studies at the ‘Musical Composition with Electro‐acoustic Media’ course at Quilmes National University. During this time he became involved with audiovisual media mainly through theatre and then working on different multimedia projects, such as shorts, installations, dance, advertising, etc. In parallel, he developed his activity as a sound technician, whether it be live, in the studio, carrying out jobs involving music production, recording, mixing and sound post production. At present, he is also a performer / improviser / composer in the field of experimental, contemporary and electro‐acoustic music, as well as in several popular music projects where he incorporates elements of the aforementioned currents. Since 2006 he works actively on the diffusion of experimental music and free improvisation, organising different music cycles in Argentina and Europe. Nowadays he directs the European branch of Niños Consentidos Festival. In 2012, he started a new exploration in the fields of multimedia & interactive art, and founded in Austria the project Circus Lumineszenz. Since 2018 the Light Festival “Blockheide Leuchtet” is produced under his direction and execution, together with the project “Lichtspektakel Sparbach”, which promote Light Art in natural spaces.

Circus Lumineszenz is an artistic & educational project based in Austria where, through the use of light & creative technology, we develop multimedia environments, installations, performances and objects where the audience is invited not only to contemplate and enjoy, but in most cases, to actively participate as creators of the experience as well.
