Public artwork 'Lunar' is a special commission for the Youth division of Mental Health Care GGz in Breda NL. The installation features a series of interactive light objects which come to life by emitting sounds and color upon detection of childrens touch.
By intervening with the existing architecture, LUNAR creates an informal play between children, their therapy and the building.

Artist and architect Daan Roosegaarde (1979) explores the dawn of a new nature that is evolving from technological innovations by creating interactive landscapes that instinctively respond to sound and movement. Roosegaarde’s remarkable works of art function as a documentation of the dynamic relation between architecture, people, and technology.
His sculptures, such as Dune and Intimacy, are tactile high-tech environments in which viewer and space become one. This connection, established between ideology and technology, results in what Roosegaarde calls “techno-poetry”.
