Ethera
Ethera is an audio-reactive LED installation that transforms light and sound into an immersive public experience. Clad in polycarbonate filled with recycled glass aggregate, its sculptural surface refracts light dynamically, creating a playful and dynamic pavilion that invites visitors to disconnect from the city.

Ethera with custom audio-reactive programming during its second exhibition in Toronto, 2024
Original design sketch, conceptualizing the project's "dynamic aggregate".
Due to a constraint with available shop time - the pavilion was designed and constructed using a singular basic module. The module is rationally sized to fit in a typical truck bed.
The modules are then transported and fixed together on site. The glass ballast is poured into the polycarbonate channels after erection.
