Etherial

Etherial brings the quantum form into the material through virtual reality, spatial augmented reality, and material form. The hydrogen-like atom’s electron is guided around the nucleus like currents in an ocean; a visual/sonic ribbon coils among the quantum currents to show waveform combinations.

As visitors move through the narrative, their motion generates small atoms like droplets emanating from the quantum sea. Light-emitting wavefunction combinations move toward the science of the phenomenon while suggesting the ethereal nature of spirit in the form of light.
