ShadowPlay is an exploration of the architecture and light in outdoor spaces through sound. Using a bicycle-mounted smartphone as a brightness sensor and a bluetooth speaker, the mottled patterns of light and shadow become the musical score as one rides along city streets. Supported through the UNESCO City of Media Arts Karlsruhe as well as through the City of Karlsruhe. Scene contributions by Sofy Yuditskaya and Damian Stewart.
