e/motion: Riding the Urban Wave

e/motion reinvents the classic seesaw as an immersive public art installation, inspired by the infinite motion of a wave. This public art installation invites users to trigger the wave's motion and an aquatic-inspired soundscape through their movements, bringing the liquid to life within the structure. This creates a captivating visual and interactive spectacle, evoking the vastness of the ocean and inviting a contemplative yet playful experience.

More than a kinetic sculpture, e/motion is a catalyst for shared joy and connection. Its fluid organic design, its base reminiscent of a whale鈥檚 tail or merging droplets, poetically anchor the installation in an aquatic universe. Details such as illuminated wave patterns and droplet-shaped handles invite playful interaction, while the soundscape immerses participants in an oceanic world. e/motion masterfully blends art, chemistry, and digital technology, creating a captivating visual and interactive spectacle and creating a truly unique and engaging experience.

e/motion transforms public spaces into vibrant, dynamic environments, inviting audiences to rediscover their surroundings and connect with art in novel ways. Its touring format amplifies its reach and impact, offering an adaptable experience that thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings, from bustling urban plazas to serene parks. Withstanding temperatures from -40掳C to +40掳C, it is built to engage audiences year-round, in any climate.

Designed for accessibility and inclusivity, e/motion invites people of all ages to participate, turning each interaction into a memorable and meaningful experience. By bringing the sights and sounds of the ocean to urban centers, it fosters wonder, sparks curiosity, and strengthens community ties.

Its ongoing journey across North America has already transformed countless public spaces into interactive hubs, enriching communities and making art accessible to all. As it continues to travel, e/motion promises to inspire and connect even more audiences, leaving a lasting impact on urban life.
