Liquid Light a surface of light that keeps your trace

A surface that remembers

Liquid Light is a dark mirror: a sheet of luminous water with height, flow and a memory of where you have been. Crests catch the light. Small points drift on it. It is not a picture of a sea. It is a surface that answers contact.

What the surface keeps

Slide across it and currents linger in your wake. Hold in one place and the light charges there. Release and a wave rolls across the sheet. A slow pass and a held point do different things, because the surface keeps answering after you leave.

With a mouse, touch or your hands

You can explore with a mouse, a touch screen or your own hands.

• Mouse and keyboard

  Move to leave currents. Hold the button to charge a point, then release to send the wave. The wheel changes how readily the surface answers.

• Touch

  Slide a finger to draw currents. Rest it to charge that point. Lift to release the wave. Two fingers change the surface’s response.

• Hands, with the camera

  Point to stir and leave currents. Hold a pinch to charge the light, then separate your fingers to send the wave. Open or close the palm to change how the surface answers.
