Electropia I (2015) is a generative sound and light installation that transforms a bridged corridor at Aalto University's School of Electrical Engineering (Helsinki, Finland) into a subtle, slowly-evolving audio-visual experience. The title comes from the words ‘electromagnetic’, ‘tropical’ and ‘utopia’: the soundscape and the musical composition are derived from the treated sounds of electromagnetic waves and a neotropical rainforest, while ‘utopia’ refers to a possible place, condition or ideal. The light consists of several small strobe lights that react sporadically to the soundscape, and their altered light is reflected discreetly around the architecture of the corridor.
