Primal Source consists of a monumental screen of water illuminated by backprojection.
Set up against the night sky at the 2008 GLOW festival in Santa Monica, this installation allowed the audience to interact via a number of stationary microphones. Sound, music and the response emanting from the crowd of festivalgoers were translated directly into constantly changing visualisations.

London based architect Usman Haque of Haque Design + Research specialises in the design and research of interactive architecture systems, building his practice around the concepts of hard space and soft space working in conjunction, considering architecture not as static, but dynamic, responsive and conversant.
