We transform spaces into experiences through algorithmic art and light.
Photonic Alchemy uses light and algorithms to transform spaces into interactive experiences. Live theater production or large-scale interactive light installations; our work seamlessly blends technology and artistry. Our projects invite audiences to engage with their environment in new and meaningful ways. Whether illuminating a stage or activating a public space, our work sparks curiosity and encourages creative exploration.

Resonance Grove is an immersive art installation featuring 48 handcrafted lanterns, each with a distinct and unique design. These lanterns are strategically placed throughout the tree, creating a captivating visual space.
The lanterns are responsive to the sound of the environment and the music played throughout the park. The lanterns are equipped with microphones that allow them to detect and interpret acoustic patterns within the park. Based on the volume and frequency of these sounds, each lantern displays synchronized light patterns that shift and transform in real time.
As visitors move through the installation their sounds contribute to the evolving illumination. Resonance Grove thus becomes a living, collaborative artwork, reflecting the unique sonic character of the park at any given moment and fostering a deeper connection between people, art, and the natural world.
Our immersive installation explores the intersection of humanity, emotion, and technology. Our robot - inspired by Maria from the 1927 film Metropolis - can engage visitors in conversation. Although sophisticated, it retains some quirky "bugs" - or are they features? - and even displays traits of human nature, such as pesky emotions. As a result, its reactions to visitors are often unpredictable.
Visitors to the installation are invited to engage directly with our robot through speech. The system uses an AI note-taking tool capable of distinguishing between multiple speakers. The robot keeps track of conversations and its own emotional state or mood. These moods are expressed both verbally and through the pulsating lights that surround it.
The Robot is a slightly larger-than-life figure inspired by Maria from Metropolis. Constructed from wood, it measures 7 feet tall. Visitors communicate with the robot through a natural language processing AI, allowing for spontaneous and varied responses. Emotional shifts are triggered using sentiment analysis of user inputs, combined with intentional randomness.
This interactive Algorithmic art installation features millions of particles, each programmed with its own tiny brain, enabling them to simulate intricate and dynamic emergent behaviors. These particles work together, responding to both one another and their environment, creating captivating visual patterns and movements that are never the same. The system uses advanced algorithms to mimic natural processes, such as flocking, swarming, or flowing, resulting in a mesmerizing display of digital life.
Visitors become a part of the installation by engaging with the particles through a camera system. As people move within the space, their gestures and motions are tracked in real time. The intelligent particles respond instantly, shifting their behavior and arrangement to reflect the visitors' presence and actions. This creates a unique, interactive dialogue between human and machine, where every action leads to new, unpredictable visual outcomes, making each visit a one-of-a-kind experience.
