Join Interim Collective for a hands-on exploration of interactive environments. Step into our active development process for PNEUMA, a large-scale interactive light and sound installation premiering on the Vancouver Art Gallery's south facade for the Lumière Festival (November 12–14, 2026).

Using PNEUMA as our live case study, this multidisciplinary workshop connects digital generative systems with physical fabrication to reveal how large-scale, responsive installations are actually built. Through a discipline-by-discipline walkthrough, we will explore how to translate environmental data and human interaction into interactive light, sound, and spatial systems. We’ll delve into the material logic of fabricating responsive forms and demonstrate the technical pipeline for routing live sensor data into TouchDesigner. Together, we’ll see how abstract inputs transform into tangible, atmospheric experiences.

The session culminates in a hands-on fabrication lab. Attendees will design and build their own small-scale physical prototypes. We will integrate these artifacts into our sensory ecosystem, allowing participants to see how live data and light bring their creations to life in real-time.
