2020Inner Light
In partnership with singer/songwriter Jhené Aiko.Inner Light was conceived to tap into music’s power to heal through sound and meditation. Visitors are encouraged to “duet” with a grand piano placed at the center of a glowing circle of LED lights, creating an immersive experience.
About the exhibition
In partnership with MILK Studios, Inner Light’s immersive installation comprises a 360-degree spatialized sound system encircling 88 LED columns that in turn wrap around an autonomous playing grand piano. The instrument is programmed to play Aiko’s freestyle composition, Triggered, with each of the 88 keys linked to a corresponding light that glows with the colors representing the seven chakras (the main energy centers of the body according to yogic philosophy).
Alongside being audience to the autonomous performance, guests are also welcome to “duet” with the piano, enabling an interactive collaboration between set composition and introduced improvisation.
As ambassador to the space, I had the pleasure of guiding guests through the immersive experience that explored the healing power of sound, positioning Intersect by Lexus as a hub for innovation.
