The Light Bead Curtain

The Light Bead Curtain is a visceral interactive installation. Taking the form of a beaded curtain, each bead, upon being touched, illuminates and adds a unique sound to an evolving soundscape. Simply by touching the beads the installation aims to affect the senses; to touch a person playful sense and amuse their sense of wonder.

The curtain's play mechanism—touching a bead to turn a light inside on or off, and emit a sound—is very simple and direct. Because of this, as someone touches the curtain, they can easily understand how to play. This digitally re-created curtain, with an easy, simple, and direct nature will give people a fresh look at everyday things, and this simple application of digital technology will instill their everyday life with a pleasant imagination.


Although the curtain is primarily meant to be played with by a person, each bead is controllable and programmable via a computer. In this manner, the curtain can function as an interactive display.
