Interactive Art Installations
by Rebecca Gischel

For the essence of being human, which cannot be expressed in words, only music, light and color remain.

Picaroon works with light, music or kinetic elements. It is only through the presence and interaction of human beings that the installations come to life and can be fully experienced.

Picaroon seeks to make feelings or philosophical ideas actually tangible to the visitor. For example, cultural enrichment through diversity, the feeling of comfort or the chance to find one‘s own compass through a boundary experience.
