Pneuma Mosaic is an interactive installation that brings art and technology together through motion-responsive panels. Distance sensors trigger air-powered silicone mechanisms, causing the wooden panels to gently unfold and shift in response to nearby visitors. Illuminated by integrated LED lighting, the mosaic transforms any space into a tranquil, dynamic canvas, encouraging relaxation and awareness. Inspired by the Greek concept of “pneuma”—spirit and presence—the installation reacts to movement, cultivating a peaceful ambiance in public spaces and galleries.
Pneuma Mosaic invites audiences to experience moments of connection and mindfulness, reshaping everyday environments into spaces of serene interaction. Pneuma (/ˈnjuːmə/) is an ancient Greek word meaning "breath", "wind," or "spirit," denoting a vital force and a sign of life.
