Aerial Dynamics
Immersive interactive space for Coca Cola London 2012 Olympic Beatbox
180 bespoke mechatronic ‘bubbles’ glow rhythmically in time with Mark Ronson’s track. Controlled with individual code, each bubble has eight polypropylene blades that fold intricately in on themselves.
Special sensors embedded in the three ‘cheers in celebration’ kiosks at the base of the Beatbox detect when Coca-Cola bottles are clinked together, triggering the blades and bubbles to glow with red and white LED lighting. These light patterns become increasingly intricate as the number of participants grow.
The Coca Cola Beatbox had around 200,000 visitors during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
